Hearts in San Francisco Project
Since its inception in 2004, the Hearts in San Francisco project has been a cornerstone of philanthropy, rallying local artists to support Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. Today, this tradition endures, marking over 20 years of profound impact on our city’s public hospital.
Hearts in San Francisco has become more than just an art project—it’s a symbol of support for the people of San Francisco. New hearts are unveiled each year, capturing the community’s creativity while raising vital funds that support innovative and equitable care at ZSFG.

This vibrant heart is Marrianne Fay’s tribute to San Francisco General’s Trauma Center and Intensive Care Unit. After her brother was found dead on the streets after a violent encounter, he was rushed to ZSFG where he was literally brought back to life.
The imagery evokes both the mortal danger her brother had been exposed to and his tenacious will to live. Marrianne considers this piece repayment to the hospital workforce for the remarkable gift of her brother’s life.
