UCSF Health affiliates with Golden Gate Urgent Care

UCSF Health has signed an affiliation with Golden Gate Urgent Care (GGUC) to collaborate in providing top-quality urgent care in the GGUC's six Bay Area locations. Through the agreement, co-medical directors at UCSF Health and GGUC will work together to provide convenient, local access to the latest technology and treatment options for a variety of urgent health concerns.

The affiliation with GGUC, which took effect July 1, is the latest in a series of recent agreements UCSF Health has made to improve patients' access to the full range of integrated, high-quality health care – from primary or urgent care to subspecialty expertise – throughout the Bay Area.

"UCSF looks to partner with best-in-class providers across the continuum of care," said Shelby Decosta, chief strategy officer at UCSF Health. "Dr. Kunzel shares our vision for the future and we look forward to this more formal collaboration with the Golden Gate Urgent Care team."

"We are out in the community, where people live, so we are often the place they seek when they need a quick appointment or a walk-in visit," said Kurt Kunzel, chief executive officer of Golden Gate Urgent Care. "By affiliating with UCSF, we can be part of a growing, integrated health care network and grow with that network, while coordinating care, improving quality that benefits from UCSF's clinical expertise."

The affiliation will address the increasing pressure to lower health care costs by improving capacity and efficiency, while ensuring that patients have access to the appropriate level of high-quality care they need in a timely manner.

GGUC has grown steadily since it was founded in 2012, reaching more than 63,400 patients in 2016. It currently has four clinics in San Francisco and one each in Oakland and Mill Valley. The GGUC clinics typically operate from small retail store fronts, with consumer-centric, electronic scheduling and a highly accessible patient portal.

The affiliation is part of UCSF's ongoing effort to meet patients' full spectrum of health needs through a growing network of high-quality partnerships and providers in areas outside the traditional academic medical model of high-end specialty care. In the past few years, UCSF Health has affiliated with a number of Bay Area providers and health systems, ranging from Children's Hospital Oakland (now UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland) to John Muir Health, Washington Hospital Healthcare System, St. Mary's Medical Center, St. Joseph Health, and Hospice by the Bay. UCSF and John Muir Health also collaborated to create Canopy Health, an accountable care network that now spans the greater Bay Area and already includes GGUC as an urgent care provider.
