The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is one of the world's premier academic medical centers and a leader in clinical research and patient care. UCSF's Palliative Care Program is dedicated to improving quality of life and providing compassionate care and comfort for seriously ill patients and their families. The program was founded by Dr. Steven Pantilat, a visionary leader who has dedicated his life to helping patients and their loved ones live as well as possible in the face of serious illness and choose treatments that align with their goals. Under Dr. Pantilat's tireless leadership, the many outstanding clinicians and staff in the Palliative Care Program work in close collaboration with colleagues across the institution to profoundly impact the way that UCSF and the field of medicine deliver care to those facing serious illness and the end of life.
