ZSFG Equity Resources

Located at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center, ZSFG Library is open to the public. We provide research support, point-of-care tools, and a community-focused hub for all employees at ZSFG.

Equity is a priority at ZSFG, from our patient care to the way we interact with our colleagues. This guide provides tools and resources, curated by Clinical Research Librarians Jill Barr-Walker and Nora Franco, in order for ZSFG staff to engage with concepts around equity.

Our True North, depicted below, defines our Vision, Mission, Values and Goals. It is an illustration of who we are and what guides us, the ZSFG Way. This guide specifically focuses on the Equity piece of the pyramid and how to take advantage of the resources available to you.

To make sure we respond to both patient and staff needs, ZSFG created an Equity Council with 17 members from different levels of the hospital – executives, managers, and frontline staff. The Council oversees the hospital’s overall equity efforts to eliminate disparities and promote inclusion.

• Consulting on equity related initiatives and issues
• Ensuring measurable progress in achieving ZSFG’s goals
• Communicating with executive leadership, department and unit leaders, clinicians, frontline staff, patients, and our community about equity efforts
