About San Francisco
Few
cities worldwide can match the combined scenic location, urban energy,
arts, restaurants, and cultural diversity that San Francisco offers.
Less than a day's drive to Napa Valley, Lake Tahoe, Carmel/Monterey,
the Gold Country, Yosemite, the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Northern
California coast, and hundreds of regional parks, San Francisco
offers endless choices for recreation and regional travel. San Francisco
is also commuting distance from the high-tech world of Silicon Valley.
San Francisco is home to the SF
Giants, the San Francisco
49ers, as well the world famous San
Francisco Symphony.

The
Kaiser Permanente Medical Center at San Francisco provides primary
care to 28 percent of the city's population and tertiary care to
some of the three million Kaiser Permanente health plan members
in Northern California. Our patient population reflects the unique
ethnic diversity of the region:

Our
medical facility consists of a completely remodeled 237-bed hospital
and a new 460,000 square foot outpatient clinic. Over the next few
years, a second, similarly sized outpatient facility will be added.
Residency training began at the San Francisco facility in the late 1940's. Our program and our graduates have been a source of tremendous pride to the medical center over the ensuing years and have allowed us to attract top notch faculty.
Our affiliates include the University of California San Francisco and
California Pacific Medical Center.
