Securing UCSF's Financial Future

I wanted you to be among the first to hear about a presentation I made today to the University of California Regents, focused on how UCSF plans to secure its financial future.

I proposed the formation of a working group to help us explore our options for creating a financially sustainable enterprise-wide business model. This model will be critical to realizing our ultimate vision for UCSF: to become the world's preeminent health sciences innovator.

You can learn more about the presentation, as well as my three-year strategic plan for UCSF, by reading this story.

Our alumni and friends will continue to factor significantly into our plan for UCSF's future. Your support has helped us redefine health care in fundamental ways, and it will continue to sustain us as we move forward into what we hope will be the most exciting period in our history.

On behalf of the entire UCSF community, I thank you for your ongoing commitment to this institution.

Sincerely,

Susan Desmond-Hellmann, MD, MPH
