MISSION BAY HOSPITALS AND HELIPADS
December 22, 2011
| UCSF Medical Center’s Mission Bay Hospitals project executive director Cindy Lima has lots on her plate. The integrated complex of three facilities (for children, women, and cancer patients) totals 289 beds and 878k SF. We're adding more: Cindy's also a panelist atBisnow's San Francisco Healthcare Summit Jan. 18. |

| Cindy (with director of project delivery Stuart Eckblad) says the Mission Bay project includes a hospital (under OSHPD jurisdiction) and an outpatient building, plus a two-story central plant. It's on schedule for a late summer '14 completion, having topped out in October. Being installed: the exterior walls and San Francisco’s only operating hospital helipad. (Which will be used for medical emergencies, not filming new versions of Mission Impossible.) Not only will this bring much-needed healthcare services to the city's underserved southeast sector, she says, but combined with the adjacent, rising UCSF research campus, it’ll jumpstart economic development of the entire Mission Bay Redevelopment Area. Cindy describes herself as a frustrated artist without enough time to spend in that mode, given the demands of this project and two teenagers. Still, last summer she created a series of ducks from driftwood while vacationing at Stinson Beach with her family.
