History
[edit]French Hospital
[edit]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]
Incidents
[edit]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]
