Who We Are

La Société Française de Bienfaisance Mutuelle (The French Mutual Benevolent Society) was founded in 1851 and formed as the first Health Maintenance Organization in America,

La Société Française de Bienfaisance Mutuelle's primary purpose was to serve the medical and social needs of persons of French origin or descent in the San Francisco Bay Area and to support the French Hospital.

Today, our mission is to carry forward the philanthropic vision on which our organization was founded and to advocate French Heritage and tradition in our community. We seek to invest our resources in caring for the culture, historical legacy and well-being of the Bay Area's French Community.
​
​We are a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.
