Poetic Medicine for Health, Dignity & Social Justice
In the setting of a toxic mix of pressing healthcare needs, poverty, and structural social injustice, the UCSF/Mount Zion MERI Center for Education in Palliative Care and Glide Memorial Church will collaborate to build, operate, and sustain a Poetic Medicine program to promote health and dignity for members of the San Francisco Tenderloin Community, to foster resiliency for the Glide volunteers, congregants, and staff who serve this community, as well as to encourage interest and compassion among UCSF pre-professional learners for working with BIPOC communities.

ULT Freezer Carbon Footprint Reduction Program
UCSF is endeavoring to make progress towards the UC-wide goal of carbon neutrality by 2025. UCSF has a fleet of over 1,200 ultra-Low temperature (ULT) freezers that each consume as much energy on average as a California home (~25kWh/day). Additionally, the typical ULT unit is over 10 years old and at risk of failure. By comparison, newer Energy Star-rated ULT freezers consume only (9kWh/day). Only 11% of ULT freezers on campus are Energy Star® -rated.
