Since 2018, the UCSF Division of Hospital has had a strong affiliation with Saint Mary's Medical Center, then a community hospital run by Dignity Health, caring for admitted Medicine patients.  

On August 1, 2024, Saint Mary’s Medical Center became part of UCSF Health and is now known as UCSF Health St. Mary's Hospital. 

The Medicine Service at UCSF Health St. Mary's Hospital (SMH) provides top-tier, comprehensive healthcare by combining the best of academic and community-based medical services for the San Francisco area. With 240 general acute licensed beds and 35 acute psychiatry beds, SMH is equipped to handle a wide range of patients' needs. Our facilities include acute inpatient care units, an acute rehab unit, an independently operated Long Term Acute Care (LTAC) center by Kentfield, the McAuley Adolescent Inpatient Unit for short-term psychiatric care, and the Crestwood Healing Center. 

At SMH, our faculty and providers, including UCSF faculty, network physicians (foundation), and UCSF affiliate providers, care for patients admitted through the UCSF Parnassus and St. Mary's emergency departments, lateral transfers for higher levels of care, and direct admissions from Primary Care and Specialty clinics. 

Our Medicine Service structure includes two resident teaching teams, three to four direct care teams, a swing service, and night coverage, ensuring that we cover the full spectrum of clinical medicine, from acute neurologic and cardiac issues to surgical problems. Our hospitalists are deeply involved in patient care as well as supporting clinical informatics, GME medical education, quality improvement and patient safety work.
