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.

gollark: Well, yes, they're not amazing magic things which can immediately do anything if you plug them in, but they... can do bad things.
gollark: That is true, although my laptop doesn't support Thunderbolt so all I have to worry about is... electronic hardware attacks and rubberducky-type things?
gollark: > Like usb 3.1 supports direct memory access<@689232518125191253> Does it? I thought that was limited to Thunderbolt, which most devices do not actually support. There are meant to be mechanisms for limiting the access of Thunderbolt devices but they seem to be broken all the time and terrible anywya.
