UCSF Continuum of Care

A network of excellence. A commitment to ongoing care.

At the UCSF Center for Reproductive Health, our commitment to your family's health is not restricted to a moment in time. Care lives on a continuum, and being part of UCSF Health’s esteemed network of excellence affords our patients access to an exceptional spectrum of doctors and services across our family of clinics and health centers. Beyond globally-recognized fertility evaluation and treatment, everything you need for the next steps in your family’s journey is within our powerful system of continuity—a system that's built for life.

UCSF empowers and supports families at every stage of their health journey.

UCSF is here for the next step

Throughout any journey—from an initial consultation with CRH to the check-in at the UCSF Birth Center; from a diagnostic test to a surgical procedure—our entire network is dedicated to providing the safest and highest quality care possible. This commitment is ongoing and transparent for all patients: UCSH Health measures our performance against our own rigorous standards and compares the outcomes of our care with top medical centers nationwide in our effort to continually improve the care we provide. We believe that sharing our results with the public is an obligation and a critical factor in our mission of continuous improvement.

At UCSF, we define optimal quality care as:

  • Superior care and outcomes
  • Outstanding patient safety
  • Care delivered in a timely manner
  • Fair, unbiased access to health care

Our progress in maintaining the highest standards of care is reflected in our accreditations, rankings and activities:

  • Ranked one of the nation's top 10 hospitals by U.S. News & World Report.
  • Maintained full accreditation from the Joint Commission, a nonprofit agency that evaluates and accredits health care facilities nationwide.
  • Recognized by HealthGrades for outstanding quality and safety, having received six quality and patient safety awards in 2016.
  • Earned the prestigious Magnet designation for excellence in nursing from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Less than 7 percent of the nation's 5,700 hospitals registered with the American Hospital Association were awarded Magnet status as of 2011, according to the ANCC.
  • Achieved a perfect score on the LGBT Healthcare Equality Index for eight consecutive years. The Human Rights Campaign Foundation, which administers the index, invites health care facilities to rate themselves on providing equitable, inclusive care for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) patients and their families.
