First-Class Care for Women

Tour Our New Women's Hospital

Women's Hospital

UCSF Betty Irene Moore Women's Hospital

UCSF was one of the first designated National Centers of Excellence in Women's Health. Our scientists and clinicians have long been leaders in reproductive health and fertility, gynecological conditions, cancer and more.

The new UCSF Betty Irene Moore Women's Hospital was designed to deliver the same cutting-edge care in a setting that supports the whole woman. Light-filled private rooms are built to comfortably accommodate visiting loved ones. More than 4 acres of green space and tranquil meditation rooms provide space to relax and recharge. Amenities in our state-of-the-art Birth Center range from bathtubs built specifically for laboring women, to a dedicated infant care area in every room, so mom and baby can stay together during minor tests and procedures.

These are just a few of the many touches designed to help soothe the spirit, speed recovery and respect the unique needs of women at every stage of life.

Room Tour: Women's Acute Care

A Restful Stay

The acute care rooms at UCSF Betty Irene Moore Women's Hospital are designed to be supremely restful for patients and families alike, supporting healing, comfort and family togetherness in addition to the cutting-edge care provided there. Moms-to-be who are admitted for expert prebirth monitoring and care will have everything they, their families and their babies need.

High-Tech Touches

We replaced the traditional TV with a high-tech multimedia wall that helps keep patients and families entertained and connected. You can play music and movies, order meals on demand and even — starting mid-March — video chat with loved ones via Skype.

Family Zone

We've made it easier for loved ones to stay by your side. Each room has a dedicated "family area" with a chair, table and comfortable sleeper couch for overnight stays. Other thoughtful touches like separate lighting controls, lockable cabinets for belongings and a wireless Internet connection will help your family feel at home.

Bathrooms Close By

Private patient bathrooms are located close to the beds for easier access. The bathrooms feature curbless showers that are safer for patients.

Handy Hygiene

A hand-washing sink at the door encourages visitors to wash up as they enter. The rooms also feature smooth surfaces for more efficient cleaning and reduced infection risk.

Natural Light and Views

Large windows bring in abundant natural light and offer garden or city views. Double window shades provide filtered light or a total blackout, whichever the patient prefers. Outdoor lounges on every floor make it easy for patients and families to step outside and recharge.

Room Tour: Intensive Care Unit

Comfort and Care

From the ceiling to the floor, the intensive care unit (ICU) rooms at the UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay were designed to be more comfortable for patients and families and support cutting-edge medical care.

Family Alcove

We've made it easier for loved ones to stay by your side. Each room has a dedicated "family area" with a chair, table, comfortable sleeper couch and lockable cabinet for belongings. Separate lighting controls, wireless Internet connection and a dedicated TV screen help families feel welcome and comfortable. Large windows bring abundant natural light into every room and offer garden or city views. Double window shades provide filtered light or a total blackout, whichever the patient prefers. Outdoor patios at the end of most corridors allow family members to step outside and recharge while staying close to their loved one’s room.

Germ-Fighting Focus

A sink by the door encourages all visitors to wash their hands as they enter, helping protect our patients from infection. Rubber flooring with rounded sides makes for more effective cleaning, which also cuts infection risk. An added perk: The rubber floors absorb sound better, helping create a quieter, more restful space.

Elevating Care

The ceiling-mounted equipment boom allows staff to configure the room for each patient's needs, while reducing the amount of equipment on the floor and creating a homier, less clinical feel. A TV is also mounted to the boom for patient and family use.

Practical Considerations

Our commitment to patient health and healing includes a host of modern features like large glass sliding doors for ease of access and smooth surfaces for easy cleaning and infection control.

Smart Care

There is a staff work area contained within a large room opening for visibility and ease of access. This orientation allows for flexible, patient-driven working configurations at the patient’s bedside. A charting zone is located immediately outside the room, with a direct sight line to two patients. This zone features enough room for two staff members charting at the same time, as well as a "med mailbox" for direct pharmacy dispensing.
