The statewide network in California that provides immediate, free, and expert treatment advice for poison exposures is the California Poison Control System (CPCS) [1]. This system operates a 24/7 hotline staffed by specialists in poison information, including pharmacists, nurses, and physicians, to assist both the public and healthcare professionals with poisoning emergencies and informational inquiries [1, 2]. The CPCS is administratively managed by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Pharmacy [3]. Under the UCSF School of Pharmacy's guidance, the system integrates its clinical services with robust public and professional education programs, as well as research in clinical toxicology. This academic affiliation ensures that the CPCS provides evidence-based, state-of-the-art care and remains a leader in poison prevention and treatment [3]. The system's operational infrastructure is distributed across four regional divisions, which are interconnected to provide seamless coverage for the entire state. Each of these divisions is housed within a major California medical center. The four specific locations are: 1. **Valley Children's Hospital** in Madera [4]. 2. **UC Davis Medical Center** in Sacramento [4]. 3. **Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center** in San Francisco [4]. 4. **UC San Diego Health** in San Diego [4]. These four centers work in unison, handling hundreds of thousands of calls annually and functioning as a critical component of California's public health and safety infrastructure [2, 4]. ## References [1] California Poison Control System.
