Mount Zion Hospital and Medical Center

Members of the Jewish community of San Francisco founded the Mount Zion Hospital Association in 1887 "for the purpose of aiding the indigent sick without regard to race or creed, to be supported by the Jewish community." It opened its first hospital ten years later in 1897, and fuctioned as a private non-profit institution until its merger with UCSF in 1992. A subsequent merger of UCSF with Stanford Hospital was dissolved in 1999. During this period, Mount Zion was more fully integrated into UCSF, closed its Emergency Room, and ceased being a Jewish hospital. An auxiliary, called the Mount Zion Ladies Auxiliary and later the Women's Auxiliary, also was part of the Hospital.
