UCSF Health and GoHealth Urgent Care partner to expand on-demand care in the Bay Area

UCSF Health has expanded its reach to serve Bay Area communities with accessible, high-quality, on-demand care through a new partnership with GoHealth Urgent Care. Now, 11 former Dignity Health-GoHealth locations have become UCSF Health-GoHealth Urgent Care, ensuring communities from Mill Valley to Redwood City can access compassionate, trusted care close to home.

“This partnership provides an accessible entry point for patients to receive the right level of care, whether they need help managing everyday health concerns or something more complex,” said Suresh Gunasekaran, president and CEO of UCSF Health. “With this expansion, we’re making it easier for people to get the care they need, when and where they need it, from a team they can trust.”

With this partnership—which launched in August when Saint Francis Memorial Hospital (Saint Francis) and St. Mary’s Medical Center (St. Mary’s) became part of the UCSF Health system—UCSF Health is extending its mission to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care across the Bay Area.

The UCSF Health-GoHealth network currently includes centers in convenient, community-centric locations:

· Castro, 2288 Market St., San Francisco

· Cole Valley, 930 Cole St., Suite 102, San Francisco

· Daly City, 325 Gellert Blvd., Daly City

“Combining GoHealth’s patient-centered approach with UCSF Health’s clinical excellence brings an unmatched level of quality care to the Bay Area,” said Manny Singh, regional president of GoHealth Urgent Care. “Patients can rely on these centers for quick, convenient care and streamlined access to UCSF Health’s top specialists if they need further treatment.”

GoHealth partnerships enable deeply connected care
