History

The hospital that currently operates as Kindred Hospital- San Francisco Bay Area was founded in the early 1960s as San Leandro Memorial Hospital. In 1966, the hospital was purchased by a non-profit Christian based organization, the Vesper Society, and began operating as Vesper Memorial Hospital^[1]

The Vesper Society continued to operate Vesper Memorial as a general acute care facility until 1984, when the hospital, along with sister facility, Vesper Society Hospital in nearby Hayward, was sold to Texas-based for profit Republic Health Corporation in a $40 million transaction.^[2]

In the mid-1990s, Vencor, Inc purchased the facility and converted it from a general acute care hospital to a long-term acute care facility. In 2001, Vencor, Inc. changed its name to Kindred Healthcare and continues to operate the facility today.
