where it was for many years, the rail yard, the wrong side of the tracks the warehouse buildings. about a year ago there was a vision that this site would be the hospital for the people of san francisco in california and the country in the world. today we celebration this vision becoming a reality. on monday of this week at the far end of this block, we began seeing patients in the conaway medical building outpatient center and in just 3 days on sunday morning we will start caring for patients in the women's hospital, the baker cancer hospital and the children's hospital of san francisco, the lobby of which we are sitting in right now. it took a village to make this happen. there are so many people in this room here today who were critical to its

planning, it's construction, it's operational planning. it's approvals and support to make it happen. we will introduce some of those people later this morning, but i in particular want to bring your attention to the generosity of our philanthropic supporters, benny lynn who served for many years. [ applause ] next to lynn is dick rosenberg who has chaired the ucsf foundation and currently chairs the ucsf health board and member of the health member cabinet. thank you, dick. [ applause ] next to dick is dede and

she's a great supporter of this city and improvements and particular projects. they dede for your support. [ applause ] . next to dede is bill who is the chair of the ucf foundation. thank you, bill. and in the front row i will introduce, there is one beautiful young woman in the middle there, that's barbara baker. barbara also served on the campaign cabinet and she has also supported us. thank you barbara. [ applause ] . next to barbara to her left is ron conaway who the ron conaway

family has been extremely generous to us and ron also served on our campaign cabinet for years. thank you in particular to our supporters. i do want to acknowledge chuck phinney, a philanthropyist and betty moore who are major supporters and for the betty irene hospital is made. why did we build this hospital? it was stimulated by seismic requirements to update our facilities. that was just the beginning for us. we wanted to have on this site a link of clinical programs to the research campus just across the street. we wanted to develop modern facilities that better served our patients and famous --

families in a true healing environment. you see our various hospitals have been a destination for people around the world and we've been bursting at our seems. this has been a tremendous opportunity for san francisco and that in mind i would like to introduce the chancellor of ucsf, a colleague of mine for years who started at ucsf and led our neonatal intensive care unit and dean of the medical school and now ucsf chancellor. help me in welcoming him. [ applause ] . >> thank you, let me begin by

thanking you for your extraordinary leadership in the last decade and helping us envision this hospital and doing a lot of the hard work on many fronts to enable us to get to this really magnificent day which is a landmark day for health care in not just the city of san francisco but in the greater bay area and tluts the united states and some places globally. it is truly a remarkable building but as mark said while we are celebrating the completion of the facilities today, what will happen on sunday is really the event we are looking forward to and that is welcoming families and patients into these facilities to enhance their care, provide care, healing and world class medicine and technology. just to the north of us for those of us who aren't familiar with the mission bay campus lies more

than 2 million square feet of state of the art research space unquestionably the best research now and this hospital will compliment that so we could not only provide state of the art care but we can reinvent the future of medicine as we know it over the next decade. these facilities have been a magnet for me and others in the children's hospital and the women's hospital in fact throughout ucsf health care to attract world class talent to san francisco so we can be leaders. just tomorrow, the president in the white house will announce a major national precision on medicine, a concept born here at ucsf and we are very proud to be leaders in what will be a revolution in medicine over the next decade. i would like to

recognize many of the leaders of our faculty and staff who are here in the room, leaders of the children's hospital. donna ferraro and ronald lynn and a most recent faculty we've been able to recruit from london. with the weather today he thinks it was a great idea. welcome, alan, to this event. now i would like to recognize supervisor jane kim who told me this is her hospital. thank you very much for joining us this morning. now, this hospital in all of it's complexity would not have occurred or would not have taken place in the way it has without the tremendous support of the mayor of our city of san francisco and the entire board of supervisors who worked with us very closely on many many initiatives to make this

hospital the world class facility it is and the asset to the city and county of san francisco. to mention just a couple, we have the first and only hello pad in san francisco from the conaway family gateway medical office building. outside the plaza you see here resulted from the board of supervisors agreeing to close fourth street and enhance the hospital for the care of our patients. it's my great pleasure to introduce mayor ed lee and to thank him and the entire board of supervisors for their support on this remarkable project. mr. mayor. [ applause ] >>mayor edwin m. lee: wow, good morning, everyone. this is so exciting. i want to first of all congratulate chancellor and mark for

your wonderful leadership. the relationship between uc san francisco, our general hospital in the city is one that is very very unique. but before i go through more of the details that i'm excited today to reflect on, let me say this, you know, there is a new gold rush in san francisco. and the gold rush is about talent, not about nugget of gold, but about nuggets of knowledge and talent. this is what you have seen san francisco has been mining for many decades. it's a gold rush. i want to say that because that was one of the most exciting times in the history of our city. i want to compare that to what is happening here in mission bay and with our relationship with ucsf that they are mining the future and the present talent of the entire world to come here and to innovate

and that is attracting as much as what san francisco was in the late 1800s when we said gold but opportunities to improve lives, to save lives. to improve the livelihood of family and children is the new gold rush. that is why today san francisco is on a 3.8 percent unemployment rate in the city. it's lowest in its entire history, modern history that we know because the health care industry, particularly through the leadership of ucsf is driving this talent gold rush in the city. i have to say and i will continue always and i know supervisor kim knows every time i come down here i have to remind you that you are standing on the 160-yard line

from my six iron at the mission bay driving range. when mayor willie brown and then after him mayor gave news some had the vision to have the research center here and establish with cooperation with ucsf and provide the first blocks i was there hitting my golf balls in the very under utilized rail yard not knowing what was going to be the future and then mayor willie brown invited me to be the director of public works and we got to work making sure that the infrastructure of this new mission bay was going to be done in such a way that it enticed private investments and i think we did it the right way. uc let it, but now you look

at a multitude of campus with entities out here with the stem cell and the biocompanies and all of what ucsf medical campus has invited here. it's an incredible story and one that i know the brookins institute has documented but more and more i will say that anyone who is looking at any city and any urban area has to understand how you take under utilized land and transform it. you have to lead with a talent. i often thought when i was in my earlier years that ucsf was kind of the camelot campus there. a lot of things were happening. we didn't know whether or not this was going to be able to flower as it has been done. they didn't do it

alone. it was a partnership that had to be really cemented with a strong vision of all the different things that we wanted to have happen because you can imagine 10 years ago, i think a lot of people would have doubted whether or not stem cell was the right thing and biotech research and all the things that uc was talking to us about whether we could embrace it in a way in which it has demonstrated itself today. well, not only did they cause belief in the city but they also got fantastic partners to do the same, business leaders from this incredible city. today on this medical campus, it's three outpatient facilities established here. wonderful collaboration with our leaders. i want to acknowledge again the leadership that was put here by
