Friends of UCSF Neurohospitalist Program launched in October 2009 thanks to gifts from the Ruth E. Raskin Fund and Susan and Bill Bridges

With a seed gift of $50,000 from the Ruth E. Raskin Fund and leadership from long-time patient safety advocates Susan and Bill Bridges, the precedent-setting Neurohospitalist Program at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) officially launched its "Friends of UCSF Neurohospitalist Program" October 24, 2009.

Andrew Josephson," says Friends founding co-chair and donor Susan Bridges. "We are so lucky here in the Bay Area to have this program at UCSF – one of the first of its kind nationally. And we understand the need for this model to be duplicated across the country. It deserves our full support." Read more . . .
