UCSF Health is in talks to acquire St. Mary’s Medical Center and St. Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco from Dignity Health, a Catholic hospital chain. But some doctors are concerned the community hospitals will lose their identity and culture.
The UC Board of Regents will have to approve UCSF Health to move forward and negotiate with Dignity Health, a Catholic hospital chain that currently owns the facilities.
"I don’t think you get the personal care you can get in a community hospital," said Dr. Remo Morelli, St. Mary’s Medical Center Chief of Staff. "We would like to have a seat at the table to help structure what St. Mary’s is going to look like in the future. We’re not opposed to the sale." "This is 100% about the patients," said. Dr. Terrie Mendelson, St. Mary’s Medical Education Director. "We are a community hospital – for the community, by the community, in the community and don’t want to be a small piece of a very large enterprise in which all the pieces of the enterprise are exactly the same.
