UCSF's mission of advancing health worldwide starts in the community we call home. This November, join UCSF in supporting local businesses in our shared Parnassus Heights neighborhood, where UCSF was founded over 120 years ago.

Parnassus Heights Neighborhood Week
Shop and dine in Inner Sunset, Cole Valley, Haight-Ashbury & UCSF Parnassus Heights
November 15-November 27

Post a photo at your local spot with #UCSFShopLocal on social media and enter a contest to win one of three prizes benefiting merchants in our neighborhood.

A robust community requires more than physical health to flourish. As the second largest employer in San Francisco, UCSF is committed to using our economic power to support the local community. We encourage UCSF's community to visit merchants in our neighborhood and support a healthy local economy. As UCSF plans to modernize Parnassus Heights with new facilities and hospital, we are committed to further strengthening local economy, create jobs, and generate local small business.
