These funds are part of Ucsf Benioff oakland's comprehensive campaign, which supports the Hospital's master plan modernization project, as well as other core areas of its mission.

The project's first phase includes creating a second outpatient center and renovating the pediatric intensive care unit (picu), neonatal intensive care unit (nicu), and post anesthesia care unit (pacu). Other campaign funding priorities include annual fund and unrestricted support, capital equipment and facility renovations, Research, community programs and advocacy, and education.
