About Us

Our vision is to build a health-conscious food environment at UCSF that reflects its mission of "advancing health," both worldwide and within its own walls. As a training ground for the next generation of healthcare professionals and leaders, it is crucial that UCSF's students be given the opportunity to make the same healthy food choices that they would recommend to the patients and communities that they serve. We aim to make this a reality by educating students, trainees, faculty and staff about healthy food and by ensuring that affordable and nutritious food options are available at student electives, class-sponsored events and other UCSF-organized student events. We envision a campus food environment in which there exists a collective consciousness and recognition of importance of healthy food, and in which all students can promote health not only in their community but in themselves, by having access to healthy food options on campus at electives, gatherings, and events
