THERE’S NO DENYING, GIVEN THE PAST YEAR’S EVENTS, that the staffers of Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital have heart. This year’s Hearts in San Francisco virtual fundraiser and art sculpture auction proved its supporters do, too: The hospital’s foundation, led by Kim Meredith, garnered $1.6 million for programs that focus on health equity and access for all. Musical guests Bob Weir and the Kim Nalley Band entertained, while hospital CEO Susan Ehrlich and emergency room physician Dr. Robert Rodriguez, a Biden-Harris Transition COVID-19 Advisory Board member, told 1,200 livestream guests they’d beat the pandemic “with love and science.”
