UCSF does not use race, gender, sex, or other protected categories or proxies for protected categories in the selection process.

The CCE collaborates to increase opportunities for optimal health outcomes for all by bringing together science, and other sectors including: health, education, government, business, and more. Together, we work to move the needle on community health.

Some of the ways we are involved in this area are:

UCSF Health Community Benefit

Community benefits are programs or activities that provide treatment or promote health and healing as a response to identified community needs. University of California Health’s academic health centers collaborate with other local health systems to complete a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years to guide overall efforts. The CHNAs identify significant health needs of people living in the communities they serve so that health organizations can act upon unmet needs.

The CCE team conducts the CHNA, on behalf of UCSF Health, in collaboration with San Francisco Health Improvement Partnership (SFHIP).
