The ADA does not include therapy or emotional support/comfort animals in its definition of service animals. We ask that patients leave all animals other than service animals at home. Please note that this rule extends only within UCSF Health patient areas and does not extend to other areas (academic, research, housing) of UCSF. For those areas, please consult https://policies.ucsf.edu/policy/550-19 for more information. If accommodations are needed related to other areas of the University, please contact Disability Management Service at (415) 476-2621 for assistance with the interactive process.
