Who We Are We are 50 faculty, fellows, and staff whose work is grounded in deep commitment to and respect for older persons, especially those who are ill or frail. We are a vital Division that values integrity, excellence, and preeminence in all we do. We work in the community and on virtually every UCSF campus – Parnassus, San Francisco VAMC, San Francisco General Hospital, Laurel Heights, Mission Bay, China Basin, and Lakeside Senior Medical Center.
	Our Work As doctors, we care for patients in their homes and in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care settings. As teachers, we teach medical students, resident physicians, physicians in practice, and other learners, and we train the next generation of leaders of geriatric medicine. As scientists, we seek to understand the causes and outcomes of illness in older persons, and to improve their health and well-being.
	Our Values We believe 8 values are fundamental to our work: respect, service, innovation, quality, integrity, collaboration, success, and achievement.
