Emergency Care
The Saint Francis and St. Mary's Emergency Departments in San Francisco are available 24/7 for patients who need immediate care for urgent and life-threatening conditions.
Emergency services
We offer a complete range of care backed by the depth of expertise in heart, neurology, orthopedics and surgery services. We have access to additional specialists, sub-specialists, and equipment reducing the need to be transferred to another hospital. Emergency services include:
- Blood tests
- Emergency radiology
- Emergency surgery
- Emergency rooms
- Triage
Hospital admissions
If you need to be admitted to the hospital for further care, your medical team will determine which UCSF Health hospital is the best place for you: Parnassus, St. Mary's, Mount Zion, Saint Francis or Mission Bay. No matter where you go, you'll be treated by our expert teams, who adhere to the same high standards, safety practices and coordinated approach as our entire health care system.
If you're being transferred and admitted to another hospital, we'll make all the arrangements and get you there by ambulance at no cost to you.
