Our new women’s hospital will deliver a lifetime of reproductive care, including cancer treatment, specialty surgery, a 36-bed center for mothers and newborns, nine deluxe labor and delivery rooms, and select outpatient services. Customizing care to each patient, we will provide the best available diagnostic tests and treatments in a warm, women- and family-focused environment that incorporates the latest technology.

The UCSF Women’s Specialty Hospital at Mission Bay will provide outstanding care for women at every stage of life – from puberty to menopause and beyond. This new state-of-the-art facility will be led by our Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences. In it, women will have the unprecedented benefit of UCSF’s world-renowned pioneering research and innovative treatment in a setting integrated with one of the nation’s premier children’s hospitals as well as a world-class cancer hospital.

Women experiencing normal or high-risk pregnancies will benefit from expert obstetricians collaborating with leading neonatologists skilled in the care of the most vulnerable newborns. Women with cancer will have access to cancer specialists who understand their unique needs. An adolescent facing pelvic surgery will have the support of both pediatric and gynecologic services. Women with breast and gynecological cancers will be offered the best in new diagnostic tests and treatments that allow care to be customized to their individual biology and personal preferences. The latest technologies for minimally invasive treatment and surgeries will enable women with chronic pelvic disorders, ranging from uterine fibroids to incontinence, to return as soon and as fully as possible to their lives.

A Special Excellence

The UCSF Women’s Specialty Hospital at Mission Bay is an ambitious, exciting and logical next step for the UCSF National Center of Excellence in Women’s Health. UCSF has long recognized the need for focus, compassion, research and innovation in women’s health care. Dedication to this mission resulted in our designation in 1996, by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as one of the vanguard National Centers of Excellence in Women’s Health.

Now, as we move into our second decade as a National Center of Excellence, we have a very exciting opportunity just ahead of us. We have the chance to incorporate our expertise, our in-depth understanding of the health and health care needs of women, our experience, our unique model and our passion into the creation of a brand new facility designed to provide women with a lifetime of reproductive health.
