Helen Diller Medical Center at Parnassus Heights – the original UCSF campus – houses our 15-story hospital as well as the Langley Porter Psychiatric Hospital and Clinics, research and educational facilities, and various clinics for patients of all ages. UCSF pediatric offerings at Parnassus include lab services, a plastic and reconstructive surgery clinic, and clinics that focus on mental health and disorders, behavior, and learning differences in kids, from early childhood to young adulthood.
