PS: If you come from MacArthur BART, take Telegraph towards W. MacArthur Blvd and then under the Fwy until you reach 34th St. Turn Left, go up 34th until you reach Webster St, then turn Right. From there the hospital is on the right side about 1/2 block down.. If you are used to walking in the city you should be fine with the distance, it is about 6 blocks, not long ones. Unfortunately no shuttle runs on the weekends.
If you drive in, do not park in the parking garage that is just off of Broadway, it closes at 2:00pm, we learned the hard way!
