San Francisco’s General Hospital Belongs to the Public — It’s Not Zuckerberg’s Plaything

‘In November of 2008 San Francisco voted on an $887.4 million bond measure to build a new San Francisco General Hospital. Despite the recession, the measure was enacted with more than 83 percent of the vote. On Nov. 21, Mayor Edwin Lee presided over the ribbon-cutting of “Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital” with the new building separated from the current hospital by “Wells Fargo Plaza.” Next May, the new hospital will open and some of the patients will be transferred to the “Bank of America Medical-Surgical Unit.”

The bond measure did not cover all of the equipment for the new facility, so the announcement of a $75 million donation from Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Dr. Priscilla Chang was an enormous relief.
