Nearly a year after the sale was announced, an agreement has been reached to keep some of the hospitals’ services and staffing intact
St. Mary’s Medical Center and St. Francis Memorial Hospital are officially going to join the UCSF fold next month.
St. Mary’s was founded in 1857 by the Sisters of Mercy and was The City’s first Catholic hospital. Along with St. Francis, the hospitals cater to patients who are elderly or homeless and rely on Medi-Cal or Medicare benefits. Staffers said they were initially concerned that the sale would affect the care those patients receive.
