History
Bertha Wright founded the Baby Hospital, which later became the Children's Hospital Oakland, in 1912.[7] Previously named Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland, the hospital was renamed in 2014 after affiliating with UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital San Francisco.[8]
In 2016, the UCSF Children's Hospital was ranked among the top 25 in eight of 10 hospital specialties in the U.S News & World Report's best pediatric hospitals listing.[9][10]
In June 2025, healthcare workers represented by the National Union of Healthcare Workers went on strike to protest plans for the hospital's integration with UCSF. The strike was called off later that month following a court ruling that declined to stop the integration.[11][12]
