Hospital History

Established in 1945, St. Francis Medical Center is the only comprehensive non-profit healthcare institution serving Southeast Los Angeles. We provide a full range of diagnostic and treatment services for the nearly 700,000 adults and 300,000 children who count on us for high quality, compassionate medical care. St. Francis Medical Center is committed to meeting the healthcare needs of the whole person — body, mind, and spirit — and respecting the dignity of each patient.

We operate a 384-bed acute care hospital, six community-based health clinics, and the largest and busiest private emergency trauma center in Los Angeles County — treating 60,000 children and adults each year. Last year, more than 6,000 babies were born at SFMC's Family Life Center, with 750 babies cared for in our state-of-the-art Neonatal Intensive Care Center.

Our Healthy Community Initiatives bring healthcare services to children and families in their schools and neighborhoods. In addition, we operate the Children's Counseling Center for abused and neglected children, St. Francis Career College, and a broad range of educational and community services programs. More
