History

Founded in 1905 in San Francisco by five physicians, they undertook to build "the most up-to-date modern hospital west of Chicago." It was not founded as a Catholic hospital, despite its name. [3] The campus also contained a school for female students, the Saint Francis Memorial Hospital School of Nursing, which also founded in 1905. [6] After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, the hospital campus burned down and it was moved to a temporary location at 2828 California Street by Dr. Redmond Payne and volunteers. [2] In 1909, the hospital was moved to the former Morton Hospital campus (1904–1909), at 778 Cole Street, which only had some 30 beds. [7]

In 1911, it opened a hospital campus its present address on 900 Hyde Street which offered 100 beds. In 1921, they expanded and added a 200-bed obstetrics wing. In 1938, it became the non-profit Saint Francis Hospital Association.

The Bothin Burn Center opened in 1967 as a 10-bed acute care ward, led by Dr. James Macho. [2] In 1979, the Center for Sports Medicine opened, led by Dr. James Garrick; and was the first sports medicine program located in a hospital. [2] In 1990, the Spine Center opened, under the leadership of Dr. Kenneth Light. [2]

In 2001, the Total Joint Center opened, led by Dr. Thomas Sampson and Dominic Tse. [2]
