History

French Hospital

The French Hospital of San Francisco, officially La Societe Francaise de Bienfaisance Mutuelle (French Mutual Benevolent Society), was founded in 1851 as San Francisco's first private hospital. It was originally located 990 Jackson Street (1851), on Nob Hill. Later locations were: 901 Bush, on the corner of Taylor Street (1853), Bryant at 5th Streets (1856), and Geary (1895). A new French Hospital was dedicated on 4 May 1963, Geary Street at 6th Avenue. It is now known as the "French Campus" of Kaiser Permanente. 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. "Rincon Hill was really dubbed "Nob Hill" first, on account of the Nabobs, but of course they went over to Nob Hill"

Incidents

In 2008, 960 babies were potentially exposed to tuberculosis at the hospital's postpartum unit.

In 2010 the hospital was fined US$100,000 for failing to properly treat a diabetic patient that later died.
