The COVID-19 pandemic is a critical time to think about how best to manage the care of older adults, both for their sake and for the near- and longer-term costs and stresses to the health care system, according to a new commentary by a UCSF clinician.

We asked UCSF emergency care physician Jeanne Noble to explain why everyone should wear a face mask and to demonstrate step-by-step how to safely don and doff masks of different types.

To help during these times, UCSF psychologist Elissa Epel worked with colleagues across the UCSF Department of Psychiatry to create a webpage of mental-health resources.

A team of 20 UCSF health care workers – 12 physicians and eight nurses – will travel to New York City to begin a one month voluntary assignment.
