A message from the CEO

To our patients and visitors,

Ann Madden Rice, CEO
UC Davis Medical Center
Biographical Profile 

I’m writing to reassure you that our hospital patients will be safe and well cared for during the statewide strike at University of California medical centers on May 21-22. Surgeries and other special procedures are still available in the event that your medical team decides you need them.

To assure that critical services are available for the most seriously ill and injured individuals, we must reschedule some appointments that can be safely delayed. If you have a scheduled appointment for medical services at UC Davis, please keep the appointment unless we notified you that it must be rescheduled.

We deeply appreciate your patience and understanding. Our top priority is to provide safe, high-quality care for each and every patient in a respectful environment. We are proud of our safety record and of the exceptional care that UC Davis employees provide every day. Many respected organizations rank us among the nation’s top hospitals, and we have received multiple recognitions for quality and safety.

We are committed to meeting your needs, and have made detailed plans to assure you receive high-quality care during the strike. Thank you for seeking our expertise for your health needs — we value the confidence and trust you have placed in us.
