Health Commission approves gifts from Epic Systems to SFDPH
Summary
The commission approved a resolution accepting philanthropic gifts from Epic Systems Corporation to support SFDPH safety‑net work; a public commenter asked about the size of Epic’s contract with the city and how the donations would be spent.
The Health Commission voted to authorize the Department of Public Health to accept and expend three gifts from Epic Systems Corporation that staff said came from Epic’s Safety Net philanthropic program. DPH staff identified the donations as philanthropic support for DPH’s safety‑net work serving low‑income and underserved communities.
Gregory Wong (presenter) described the gifts in the staff presentation. The exact amounts were read into the record with inconsistent verbal formatting in the transcript (presenter cited $12,710.44 and figures roughly described as $115,000 and $37,500); a public commenter asked how the gifts related to Epic's contract with San Francisco General and requested clarity on how the funds would be spent.
A motion was made, seconded, and the resolution was approved by voice vote with Commissioners saying "Aye." The transcript records an affirmative voice vote but does not include a roll‑call tally in the public record.
