At St. Mary’s, we are passionate about patient care. We are committed to community outreach, ardent advocates for the underserved and dedicated to ensuring that quality, affordable health services are available to all who need them. Located across from beautiful Golden Gate Park and with views of the world-renown Golden Gate Bridge, St. Mary’s Medical Center is San Francisco’s longest continual running hospital. We were founded by eight Sisters of Mercy in 1857, who came to San Francisco from Ireland to help fight cholera and smallpox. Today, we are proud to be one of the largest not-for-profit, community-based health care providers in Northern California. We are just as proud of our tradition in the community; St. Mary’s has also been at the forefront of medical innovation and technology, housing the nation’s first cardiac catheterization laboratory, offering pioneering spine surgery, and comprehensive rehabilitation.
