The past forty years has seen Mt. Zion emerge as one of the leading hospitals in heart care, from ground breaking research, to the implementation of the first pace maker.  The last twenty- five years have placed an emphasis on geriatric care and women’s health issues as they have developed programs for the elderly and devoted an entire building to the women’s healthcare field. 

On Mt. Zion’s 100^th birthday, the hospital was a not for profit, community teaching hospital.  They had 300 beds and an operating budget of $80 million.  Fourteen hundred full time employees cared for 9,000 in house patients; 80,000 outpatients; and 18,000 home care patients.  Since then, they have merged with University of California San Francisco (1990); and then merged again with Stanford to become a non profit public benefit corporation know as UCSF Stanford Healthcare.
