Until 1906 , the school faculty had provided care at the City-County Hospital ( San Francisco General Hospital , 1915-2016 , but '' Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center ( SFGH ) '' since 2016 ) , but did not have a hospital of its own . Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake , more than 40,000 people were relocated to a makeshift tent city in Golden Gate Park and were treated by the faculty of the Affiliated Colleges . This brought the school , which until then was located on the western outskirts of the city , in contact with significant population and fueled the commitment of the school towards civic responsibility and health care , increasing the momentum towards the construction of its own health facilities . Finally , in April 1907 , one of the buildings was renovated for outpatient care with 75 beds . This created the need to train nursing students , and , in 1907 , the '' UC Training School for Nurses '' was established , adding a fourth professional school to the Affiliated Colleges
