yeah, we started with giving donations to harvard, stanford, and ucsf. and one of the things that was most important is to foster collaboration, and it's actually been great. i mean, these institutions are somewhat siloed, and we've been able to break through some of that. the researchers meet twice a year, and they are making sure that sort of all their ships are sailing in the same direction, they're not duplicating work, and they're using the successes from each institution to help really make sort of one plus one plus one equal five. >> are you asking for other people to get tested? >> absolutely. you know, this is sort of one of the things that i care about when i look at the bigger picture, is how many people have not been tested and how many of them do have hereditary cancer mutation. and so we, as a foundation, have funded a family testing program in conjunction with color genomics where that test, which is already -- you know, it's been great that they've gotten the price down to $250 -- but if you're a first-degree relative of a person with a h

. >> reporter: a psychiatrist with ucsf is the lead author of the study. it surveyed 423 first time offenders who are not incarcerated, ages 12 to 18 from a juvenile court in new england. one third identified as a member of the lgbtq community. the researcher says this study brings to light what he describes as an invisible population. >> we know they have, and this confirms our suspicions, that they are at higher risk for risky behaviors like drug use. >> reporter: the study found lgbtq youth are at witnesses higher risk for self-harm and depression. the offenses committed by the teens often include truancy while minors can -- >> lgbtq have a higher -- they are prone to be in situation wheres they might be doing -- situations where they might be doing things that are illegal. >> reporter: researchers are looking at whether the teens reoffend and why. the teen's first quart appearance is the first opportunity to offer counseling and support. >> amber lee, thank you. >>> a crowd turned out at at&t in san francisco but tonight the pitches were aimed at poten

drop of blood in, slide it into a small analysis machine, about this size, that they developed at ucsf that can tell you in ten minutes whether or not you've been concussed. the value of that to the private sector is untold. if you have been concussed in an automobile, for instance, and they can check you while you are in the ambulance and know which hospital to take you to, it can be the difference between you living, you dying, and you living with a brain injury that had you gone somewhere else you could have been substantially trained better. in the military side of things, combat, being able to tell if these young people have been concussed will make massive differences in their lives. that's what you want your government to be doing. that's the type of result from tax dollars being spent at a national lab that you are like that's what i pay my taxes for. >> so let me ask you, one of your responsibilities to protect our national grid from interruption by cyber terrorists. how secure is our national grid right now? are you worried about any interruption by foreign enemies? >> we hav

situation where the chief of staff can review the situation and grant emergency privileges to someone at ucsf to come over and perform that service at the hospital. this -- a good example of this might be ecmo, which is a heart-lung machine for infants. we don't have someone at sfg, but there are qualified people at the university, and we would want to have some mechanism for them coming over and approving and performing those services. so that's one item. the other item is in the rules and regulations? we just wanted to clarify, you know, there's been a lot of focus on making sure that we get notes locked in a timely manner, and some notes, there's even more of a time urgency fofor than others. we wanted to clarify, if anyone's got this in front of them, that on page six, in the case of operative reports, we do need those to be written immediately and that's really because the patient is about to be transferred to another location, and so although the official signing, other parts need to go into the note or the note might need to be finalized, the note might be signed within five days, we d

i think while the idea of putting ucsf has a research institution into mission bay was a great idea, unfortunately i'm going to be very critical, and i'm going to say, and i've said it before, it is turning into little more than a suburban office park. >> supervisor safai: right. >> commissioner moore: that is my biggest criticism. the only thing -- and i want to say something positive -- is adding the warriors stadium i think will give a heart to mission bay, and i think it will tie everything along the third street rail corridor together. that is my biggest hope, and then we can move together while we're moving into neighborhoods. that is the common thread. >> supervisor safai: that is a good point. we've had this debate more recently in the last year since i've been on the board, and a number of my colleagues have joined me in the conversation about expanding the opportunities for middle class housing and diversity of housing. and mididle class housing is oe of the hardest housing to finance. we have the tools to finance lower income housing. we lost one with the redevelopment age

and mental health and elementary school children, we are joined by a forensic psychiatry fellow at ucsf department of psychiatry. doctor, thank you so much for joining me. this is so heartbreaking. i have an 11-year-old daughter and i just can't imagine. before we get to the bullying aspect and the suicide that followed, this young boy had recently told his mother that he was gay. talk about that decision by a 9- year-old and how you encourage parents to respond. >> i think to take a step back, that self-harm, and suicide especially among younger children is fortunately very rare. but, the coming out process, even with our more accepting society, as the years move on, it still makes it very challenging for kids, through their adolescent years, to come out as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. and, going back to how to really work with kids who come to this realization so early, it's providing a safe space for them, where they feel protected, and that they are able to share theithat they may share with a lot of the classmates. >> the fact that this little boy, you know, kind of conf

all proceeds benefit the children's miracle network at ucsf children's benioff. >> they raised $1200y'll be serving them up inside the hotel until midnight tonight. a small is $5. large is 10 bucks, but again, all goes to a great cause. boy doesn't that look delicious? >> yeah, especially on a nice warm day. refreshing. >> so what should we have another warm day coming? what about the weekend? we're getting a little close. spencer back. >> we have some warmer and nicer days coming our way. but first a colorful graphic indicating air quality. the red and orange circles here indicate poor air quality. that of course has been the pattern over in the central valley and up to our north as well because of all the wildfires. the yellow and green had been the predominant colors here in the bay area until today. now we see some oranges moving in there. so our air quality is declining. today was a spare the air day, and tomorrow will be another spare the air day. look how thick the haze is over the by area right now. so the poorest air quality tomorrow will be in the inland east bay and in the

behavioral health service providers in 2016 and 2017 and awarded the contract to -- this contract to ucsfto provide various services. on page 14 of our report, you can see in table 2, we outline the sources and the uses of the contract and you can see that over the term of the contract that about $8.4 million of general fund dollars will be used for the contract in addition to federal and state support as well as interdepartmental work orders. we do recommend that the proposed resolution be amended to specify the approval is retroactive to july 1, 2018. and as the department stated we concur that the proposed resolution also should be amended to state that the contract is for four years. >> chair cohen: any questions or clarification needed? public comment. anyone to comment on item 5? public comment is closed. i make a motion to amend the contract to ensure that it's retroactive to july 1, 2018 and a motion to also amend the language to move from five years to four year. and we can take the amendments without objection. and also i'd like to approve and send this to the full board with a

that one of the advantages presumably of epic is that many of the users are acquainted with it at ucsf? has that been with systems or does that cause a conflict because we have a little bit different system? >> you know, i don't know. i haven't had any comments back about that, and the difference, with one exception. some folks have asked to have this uscf build installed, and of course we can't do that. we're going with best practice, and we're going with the content. so things that make it unique with how we're practicing, we build that. we don't change the entire system. >> so i guess we'll see as it goes along. in emergency room its of the coming reports -- in terms of the coming reports, we have, in the past, received a timeline, right, with different points for completion. i think commissioner guillermo has raised the potential of using a dashboard. i don't know which is the better way or way you wish to convert it, but i think as we get our reports it would be helpful to understand some of the areas that you're addressing in a fashion which -- >> so i can give you a dashboard wi

we also have more contributions from ucsf going to complete streets project. there is a portion of a stairway on the 22nd street alignment that will connect the potrero recreation center to the street grid in dogpatch. and we are also looking to feature primarily impact fees to soar we we might be able to start filling out the network of complete streets. >> sounds like your projects and financing sources are separate from rec and park. >> in some cases, the -- we are looking at the same funding source, so impact fees, of course, are ones that we would be -- we would be looking to, and there is a pot of funds specifically for open spaces and recreation in the eastern neighborhoods, which, you know, goes to many r.p.d.-led projects. >> right. and just my last comment. i think that we certainly try to engage in it very much actively ourselves here at the park, but the fact that you've engaged so much community input, i just want to commend you for checking in to making sure that everybody supports the plan and wants to see the plans happen. i think that's very i
