[applause]
9:48 am
i mean that in so many ways. the hospital is available to everybody. every community of this great city. it has a trauma center. how many other centers -- cities have its own trauma center? a trauma center that is world famous, that gets the job done and saves lives. it is the only hospital in san francisco with 24-hour psychia [applause] something that i will possibly in roll in after this year. [laughter] over 100,000 patients get through the doors of the general every single year. so whether you are in a car accident or whether something happens that you did not
9:49 am
control, you can believe we have the best performing trauma center for the whole bay area. it is a hospital that reflects our very san francisco values of caring for our fellow citizens and leaving no one behind. the people you are about to hear about today will be people that displays the courage, the perseverance, the passion for helping others in our community. they are the city's role models, and helped make san francisco general hospital stand head and shoulders above all other public hospitals nationwide. in addition to the heroes we celebrate today, let's also celebrate the gigantic steps we have taken together to make sure the hospital is rebuilt and meets california seismic safety standard requirements for an
9:50 am
acute care hospital. [applause] while there was only two and a half years ago, it still rings in my mind, as your former city administrator. you have watched virtually a miracle happened at our ballot boxes. when it was presented with the biggest on ever in the history of the city -- bond ever in this city to rebuild our hospital, but again, thanks to people like jean o'connell end to the guggenheim, and all the hard working people involved in this effort, san francisco general hospital rebuild received 84% of the vote in 2008, the highest of any bond in the history of the city. [applause] and of course, you got to measure that in light of some
9:51 am
other facts, and the only other fact i can compare that to is i got 100% of my vote. they got 84%. that is a pretty good stuff there. we are starting to see the work of the foundation of the hospital being built with the whole that has already been dug in. it will be a base isolated seismic safety approach. guess what. when willie brown was mayor, he made sure that our city hall has the best seismic safety standards, so the city hall is under a base isolation system. so will our hospital. that represents the level of attention we are giving to make sure this hospital stays and becomes the center for all of our health care. it will also enjoy, as our goal, a gold standard for its environmental design and
9:52 am
architecture for that building, so that we can show the rest of the world not only can you have the best performing acute care hospital that you can find with great voter support, you can do it in a most environmentally conscious way. that is what we get to show. [applause] the rebuild, obviously helps our local economy. there will be over 3000 jobs created as a result of the lalre our local hire san franciscans. that goes a long way to one of -- hiring more of our great people in everything we do. over 10% of the contractors are local businesses already working on the contract, with more to come. this hospital is the busiest
9:53 am
emergency room in the city. and because of this rebuild, it will triple in the size of a number of emergency rooms that it has, and it will be equipped to double the capacity of to 120 beds. with the size of the hospital being rebuilt, with the seismic standards it will have, with the way we approach that as a city family with our great private leaders in the sector joining the city, i cannot but repeat to you -- this hospital and the foundation that it has had to help it is the heart of the city and county of san francisco. that is why i enjoy this. if there is anything i know this year even these first few weeks on the job, my love for the city has grown even deeper. thank you very much for being part of this.

9:56 am
this event, you know good and well the spirit of the general award is given to that individual who exhibits extraordinary commitment to making san francisco general hospital what it is. this year, the recipient is one of whom all of you know very well. you know her because, i suspect you will hear, because she ask you to come. there is nobody that she has encountered in the last several years that she has not said, you have to do something for the general. when i see her coming now, i go the other way. i have given all i can give to the general. [laughter] that is the nature of who our recipient is.
9:57 am
she came on the board of the foundation, some 11 years ago. by 2003, she had been elevated to the president of the board. and in that capacity, she guided the general from being a place that most of us looked at as a place for the disadvantaged and poor people only, into an extraordinary care facility, as described by the mayor, available to everybody, as a place where innovation in medical treatment occurs, as a place where research, on a regular basis, is done, and while the 82% that prop a received, i guarantee much of that 82% came from the extraordinary work of this woman, and the voters responded to what she did. so ladies and gentlemen, please
