Save the date for The Human Bean’s "Coffee for a Cure" fundraiser on Friday, October 17th, at all of their locations in San Luis Obispo County. All food and drink sales will be donated to French Hospital’s Hearst Cancer Resource Center (HCRC) to support no-cost cancer programs and services including mammograms, post-diagnosis care, and education. Our HCRC staff and a Foundation team member will staff the drive through at each location that morning: Morro Bay, Atascadero, and Templeton.

The Atascadero Police Department will also be on site at The Human Bean's Atascadero location for "Coffee with a Cop" and to sell pink, collectible uniform patches and lapel pins—as part of their "Pink Patch Project"—to support the Hearst Cancer Resource Center at French Hospital. 🩷

Joseph, a hospital visitor, recently shared how a French Hospital staff member brightened his day with kindness.

When he didn’t have the appropriate payment method for the hospital cafe, Ultrasound Technologist Cherish Ryan—who stood behind him in line—offered to buy his meal. Joseph later returned to the hospital to present Cherish with two framed photos of the meals that she paid for and a handwritten “thank you” note.

We appreciate our amazing hospital staff who exemplify “Hello Humankindness” every day. 🧡

We enjoyed a recent visit from Eva, an eight-year-old Vizsla who serves patients, visitors, and staff at French Hospital alongside her owner, Patty, a retired nurse who worked at French Hospital for over 30 years. Patty says Eva loves people more than anything. “Eva wags her tail from the time we pull into the parking lot until we leave.”

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.
