Nicholas Iverson, MD

Associate Professor

Nick Iverson is UCSF Assistant Professor of Medicine, and works clinically as a hospitalist with ZSFG's Division of Hospital Medicine, as well as with the ZSFG Social Medicine team as a consulting attending. He has particular interests in care transitions for vulnerable populations, as well as building community partnerships and engagement with health systems.

As Medical Director for Patient Flow in the ZSFG Department of Care Coordination (DoCC) and Attending on the Complex Care Team, Nick works closely with clinical teams and patients across ZSFG units and services along with the DoCC multidisciplinary team in order to meet patients' social and behavioral needs and ensure safe transitions of care. He develops strategic plans across the organization to solve complex clinical problems and barriers to patient flow. His expertise in food insecurity, social needs screening, and building community partnerships serve to help identify social needs and improve resources available to patients discharging from ZSFG, including in operationalizing CalAIM Enhanced Care Management and Community Supports.

Nick is the Medical Director for Food Bridge to Health (FB2H), a medically-tailored meal and grocery program with a mission to improve food security and justice on care transitions from ZSFG acute care units as a bridge to improved health and wellness.
