Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland | Our History
Bertha Wright, Mabel Weed, and a group of local women founded the Baby Hospital, which later became the Children's Hospital Oakland, in 1912. In 2014, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital Oakland affiliated, bringing together two respected organizations that are individually committed, and recognized for excellence in children’s health.
Together, as UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals, we have established Northern California’s largest network of pediatric providers, with the sole aim of advancing our mission to protect and advance children’s health and well-being through clinical care, teaching and research.
