Mount Zion Health Fund (MZHF) traces its origins to the establishment of Mount Zion Hospital in San Francisco at the end of the 19th century. In 2005, MZHF became a supporting foundation of the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties. MZHF’s mission is to advance programs designed to improve the physical, emotional and spiritual health of vulnerable populations and reflect the Jewish values and traditions of Mount Zion Hospital.

Through its historic and special relationships, MZHF collaborates with UCSF at Mount Zion and its affiliates, the Institute on Aging and the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish community to identify health-related needs and to promote creative and responsive solutions. MZHF also supports community-based nonprofit organizations that are striving to meet pressing health concerns within San Francisco.
