Negotiations begin in proposed sale of St. Mary's Medical Center to UCSF

The hospital, founded in 1857 by the Catholic organization Sisters of Mercy, is currently operated by the Dignity Health hospital system. In addition to St. Mary's, UCSF has signaled its intentions to purchase St. Francis Memorial Hospital, another San Francisco medical center operated by Dignity Health. The total sale, including the two hospitals and their outpatient clinics, would be less than $100 million, according to UC documents.

"If UCSF is truly committed to compassionate, patient-centered care for all, they will include our input and ensure that San Francisco's most historic and oldest community hospital can continue to thrive under the UCSF brand," said Save St. Mary's in a statement Wednesday. "Our commitment to serve the City's healthcare needs began with the Sisters of Mercy of America more than 150 years ago. We are honored to be the provider of choice for generations of San Franciscans," said Julie Sprengel, the Dignity Health California division president in a statement.
