Oakland families affected most by UCSF decision to move pediatric care across the Bay

UCSF's decision to relocate critical pediatric care from Oakland to San Francisco has disproportionately impacted East Bay families, particularly low-income, immigrant, and undocumented communities. Key services like bone marrow transplants and interventional radiology have been moved, forcing families to travel across the Bay for care, exacerbating financial and logistical challenges. The move has raised racial justice concerns, as it affects Black children reliant on Oakland's culturally competent sickle cell disease care.
