As of August 1, 2024, UCSF Health acquired St. Mary's Hospital and Saint Francis Hospital. These are community hospitals and have an open medical staff inclusive of community physicians and UCSF Health employees. Therefore, before sending us a Subpoena for a provider, please double check that they are a UCSF Health employee.

A Summons and Complaint which names UC Regents must be served at the University of California Office of the President (UCOP) in Oakland, California. Pleae click this link and read section # 1 on how to serve UCOP. UCSF Health Risk Management will receive a copy of the Summons and Complaint from UCOP. If a Summons and Complaint names a healthcare provider as an individual defendant, that provider must be personally served with the documents by a Process Server. 

The decision to serve as an expert witness in litigation is at the discretion of the individual UCSF healthcare provider. Please reach out directly to the provider's practice / office. UCSF Health Risk Management will never provide healthcare providers' contact information, their contact information will often be listed online. Advise the office when calling that you seek to retain the provider as an expert witness.
