Chinese Hospital is a community-owned, not-for-profit organization based in San Francisco’s Chinatown. It is a unique healthcare system that has grown in geographic and ethnic diversity in its reach. It is made-up of multiple primary care clinics, outpatient centers, and a health plan to provide healthcare services throughout San Francisco and northern San Mateo County seeking quality care in today’s health care environment.
Chinese Hospital’s mission is to deliver quality health care in a cost effective way and is responsive to the community's ethnic and cultural uniqueness. It traces its roots over 100 years to 1899 when the Chinatown community opened the Tung Wah Dispensary to provide eastern and western medicines for Chinese immigrants who could not access mainstream health facilities. In 1925, the original Chinese Hospital emerged to provide fully modernized healthcare for the community.
