The French Hospital of San Francisco, officially La Societe Francaise de Bienfaisance Mutuelle (French Mutual Benevolent Society [2] ), [3] was founded in 1851 as San Francisco's first private hospital. [4] [5] It was originally located 990 Jackson Street (1851), [6] on Nob Hill. Later locations were: 901 Bush, [7] on the corner of Taylor Street (1853), [6] Bryant at 5th Streets (1856), and Geary [8] (1895). A new French Hospital was dedicated on 4 May 1963, Geary Street at 6th Avenue. [9] It is now known as the "French Campus" of Kaiser Permanente. [9] [10] St. Mary’s Hospital opened in San Francisco in 1857, on Rincon Hill at the northwest corner of 1st and Bryant Streets, not the French Hospital. [11] "Rincon Hill was really dubbed "Nob Hill" first, on account of the Nabobs, but of course they went over to Nob Hill" [12]
In 2008, 960 babies were potentially exposed to tuberculosis at the hospital's postpartum unit. [13]
In 2010 the hospital was fined US$100,000 for failing to properly treat a diabetic patient that later died. [14]
