San Francisco Medical Center consists of several four medical offices, hospital, and medical center sites in San Francisco, California.[1]
History
Kaiser has the main San Francisco Medical Center, the Geary Hospital, French Campus, and Mission Bay.
In 2008 960 babies were potentially exposed to tuberculosis at the hospital's postpartum unit.[2] In 2014 the hospital was recognized as having made "meaningful contributions" to the community's health.[3] It spent 24.3 million US$ that year on community benefits.[4] Also in this year Kaiser was fined US$ 50,000 for leaving an electrode inside a woman's womb after a cesarean section.[5]
In 2010 the hospital was fined US$ 100,000 for failing to properly treat a diabetic patient that later died.[6]
In 2015 a study examining the use of Truvada used as PrEP in preventing the transmission of HIV found a 100% success rate among a group of hundreds of men at the hospital (over 99% men who had sex with men).[7] The San Francisco Medical Center has been observed as a key player in San Francisco's fight against HIV and the city's plans to "aggressively combat" the spread of the virus with PReP.[8]
