About us
The Mission of the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) is to protect and promote the health of all San Franciscans. SFDPH strives to achieve its mission through the work of two main Divisions – the San Francisco Health Network and Population Health. The San Francisco Health Network is the City's only complete system of care and has locations throughout the City, including San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center, Laguna Honda Hospital and Rehabilitation Center, and over 15 primary care health centers. With a broad community focus, the ultimate goal of the Population Health Division is to ensure that San Franciscans have optimal health and wellness at every stage of life, and, to achieve this, the Division is comprised of various branches dedicated to core public health services for the City and County of San Francisco, such as health protection and promotion, disease and injury prevention, disaster preparedness and response, and environmental health services.

A recent NEJM Catalyst article highlighted how San Francisco’s collaborative COVID-19 response saved lives and reduced health disparities. Covid-19 challenged health care delivery systems worldwide, and we are thankful to our partners in healthcare who united to prioritize the health and well-being of our diverse communities in #SF. Through this coordination and community partnership, San Francisco achieved one of the lowest Covid-19 death rates and had one of the highest vaccination and booster rates, compared to rates across California or the United States. The “San Francisco Health Systems Collaborative” formed during the COVID-19 pandemic now serves as a national model in pandemic response. Read the press release here: https://lnkd.in/g3mctwkT
