The Connie Frank Transplant Center at UCSF Opens
UCSF recently hosted the dedication of the Connie Frank Transplant Center, bringing into reality an idea that philanthropic visionary, Connie Frank, first conceptualized in 2006.
Designed around the patient, the facility co-locates all staff and services to provide a comfortable and familiar home. Throughout the Center, the design welcomes patients and encourages family involvement in the healing process through ample visitors' space. The Connie Frank Transplant Center is an instrument of giving that will continue to support patients and their families for years to come.
A 10,300 square foot space located on the 7th floor of our Ambulatory Care Center (400 Parnassus Avenue), the Connie Frank Transplant Center will house 5 faculty and 38 staff members. During the course of the year, our faculty will consult with over 3,000 patients.
The Connie Frank Transplant Center at UCSF opened to pre-and-post kidney transplant patients on Monday, June 14, 2010.
