Overview Overview: Rebecca is a Clinical Professor at UCSF and a national leader in Housecall medicine. She completed her undergraduate work in Neurobiology at Harvard University in 1990 and came to UCSF for her medical school training.

In 2001, Rebecca completed her geriatrics fellowship and became medical director for the UCSF Housecalls program and transformed it into the flagship geriatric teaching and clinical care program at UCSF. Her vision of providing primary care to frail homebound elders in San Francisco inspires students, residents, and faculty.

Housecalls is operated as a non-profit that does not charge any additional fees for providing care in the home. Patients come from all socioeconomic backgrounds and neighborhoods in San Francisco. Eighty percent of the patients are poverty level or low-income. Rebecca's leadership and passion has inspired local Bay Area Foundations and individual donors to support the Housecalls program.
