Our Story

French Hospital Medical Center has a long and rich history. We have served San Luis Obispo County for nearly 70 years and is a leader in providing top quality care, regardless of ability to pay. As a member of Dignity Health, our mission is to provide quality services delivered in a compassionate and cost-effective manner, to serve and advocate for the poor and disenfranchised, and to partner with others in the community to improve quality of life.

In 1946, Dr. Edison French, a local physician, purchased the San Luis Sanitarium on Marsh Street in San Luis Obispo, renaming it "French Hospital." There he began to practice state-of-the art medicine. In 1972, French Hospital moved to our current, larger location on Johnson Avenue. Since joining Dignity Health in 2004, French Hospital has made a rapid resurgence as a nationally recognized hospital, being named one of the Nation’s 100 Top Hospitals three times in recent years by Truven Health Analytics.

Today, French Hospital is San Luis Obispo's only not-for-profit hospital, focused on providing high quality, compassionate health care, right here on the Central Coast.
