Follow these common health practices now to protect against seasonal cold and flu including novel coronavirus if it comes to our community.
Wash your hands often with soap and water, for at least 20 seconds.
Cover your cough and sneeze. If you are sick, face masks can prevent spread of germs to others, but are not recommended to prevent getting sick. Face masks are NOT a substitute for handwashing.
Stay home when sick. If you or someone you live with has returned from China in the past 14 days, and are now sick, call your doctor and give your symptoms and travel history.
Get a flu shot! It will help you avoid flu symptoms which are similar to novel coronavirus symptoms.
The beautiful Hearts in San Francisco will unveiled on Valentine’s Day at the four corners of Union Square, February 14, 2020. They will be on view until November 2020.
Hearts in San Francisco Project The Hearts in San Francisco project debuted in 2004. Under the leadership of Nancy Bechtle and Ellen Magin Newman, 131 beautiful and inspired heart sculptures were created by local Bay Area artists. For three months, these hearts were placed on display throughout San Francisco for the public to enjoy, before being auctioned.
Surpassing its original goal, Hearts in San Francisco raised nearly $3 million for the Foundation. The project generated a new level of exposure for the Foundation’s mission, as well as Zuckerberg San Francisco General’s vital role in our community as a provider of life-saving care to anyone in need, regardless of ability to pay.
The Foundation is incredibly grateful to all who were involved in helping to bring the Hearts in San Francisco project to life. From those on the planning committee, to the talented artists, as well as our generous corporate sponsors, thank you. Most importantly we thank the entire San Francisco community for opening its heart to our Hearts.
Hearts in San Francisco sculptures can be spotted throughout the City and beyond. The most recognizable Tony Bennett’s heart titled, America’s Greatest City By the Bay resides permanently on the corner of Powell and Post Streets in San Francisco’s Union Square. All of the ‘heartworks’ are privately owned and some are in easily discovered locations, such as the lobbies and storefronts of our generous corporate supporters, others are at the homes of private individuals. Out of respect for the privacy of our donors and supporters, we are unable to release a list of locations for the hearts. If you look closely around the City, we’re sure you’ll be able to spot several.

Ground Testing Update: Indicator Piles | January 2020
Dear
Neighbor:
As ground improvement testing continues on parking Lot A, the Mission Rock team wanted to provide you with additional insight into the indicator pile program starting on Tuesday, January 21st (after the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday). You may have noticed the mobilization of equipment on site for the indicator pile program. The purpose of the program is to better refine the overall pile count and the length of steel h-piles that will be needed for each building’s foundation. Similar to other projects in the neighborhood, piles for Mission Rock are designed to reach bedrock.
Each
test pile will be made up of three to four segments, approximately 80’ in
length. The first two segments are planned to be installed with a vibratory rig
which among many advantages helps to reduce noise impacts. Splices between
segments are welded once the initial segment is far enough into the ground. The
remaining segments (once the vibratory rig can no longer effectively install
added length into the ground) will be installed with a diesel impact hammer.
During this work you can expect to hear pile driving between 8 a.m. and 5
p.m. on weekdays. While the majority of the impact hammer work for pile
testing is planned to be completed at the end of February, the in-place piles
will continue to be observed and tested for approximately one month. A noise
and vibration consultant works closely with the project team to identify
methods to mitigate, monitor, and manage sound and vibration.
Please feel free to direct questions or report observations to the Mission Rock project team via construction hotline (415) 972-1744 or email info@missionrock.com
