Tuberculosis Cases Linked to Riordan High; UCSF Expands Imaging Alliance as RESET Center Moves Forward
San Francisco, CA – March 7, 2026 – A tuberculosis investigation at Riordan High continues as UCSF upgrades imaging and the city advances a new sobering center.
San Francisco health officials continue monitoring a tuberculosis investigation tied to Archbishop Riordan High School, where more than 200 latent cases and several active cases have been identified within the school community.
Riordan High Tuberculosis Update
According to the San Francisco Department of Public Health, 204 latent tuberculosis infections were identified through testing connected to the school. Three active TB cases have been confirmed, along with three additional suspected active cases. Officials have said individuals with confirmed or suspected active disease are receiving treatment.
Public health leaders have described the overall risk to the general public as low and previously reported that no contagious cases were present on campus at the time of the update. Students have since returned to in-person instruction following a period of remote and hybrid learning during testing and evaluations.
UCSF Health Announces 10-Year Imaging Alliance
UCSF Health this week detailed a 10-year Care Alliance with GE HealthCare aimed at modernizing imaging technology across its facilities. The partnership is expected to focus on advanced imaging systems, remote scanning support, improved magnetic resonance performance and workforce development for radiologic technologists.
UCSF leaders said the collaboration is designed to strengthen diagnostic capacity and support clinical care across the health system. Imaging services are central to cancer detection, heart and vascular care, neurological evaluation and emergency diagnostics, all of which serve patients from San Francisco and the broader Bay Area.
City Advances RESET Sobering Center
City officials have also approved a performance-based contract to operate the planned RESET Center at 444 Sixth St. The 25-bed facility is intended to serve as a drop-off location where police can bring people arrested for public drug use as an alternative to jail while they sober up and are offered optional connections to services.
The contract ties payment to specific benchmarks, including officer drop-off times and the share of clients connected to recovery services upon discharge. The project has drawn legal and policy questions about how the facility will be regulated, even as city leaders describe it as a new approach to accountability in behavioral health response.
What Residents Should Know
Health officials continue to emphasize that the tuberculosis investigation remains focused on the school community. UCSF patients may see phased imaging upgrades over time as new equipment is installed. The RESET Center is expected to change how some public intoxication and drug-use arrests are handled once operational.
