The history of the Hospital as an American institution in France is unique. Thanks to its serving as a resource to French, American and international patients for over 100 years, to providing fundamental aid to France during the two World Wars, and to its role in bringing America and France together through the sharing of expertise and best practices, the American Hospital of Paris has become one of the world’s leading symbols of Franco-American friendship and cooperation. The Hospital provides high-quality care for nearly all major medical specialties through its 350 physicians and its continuing efforts to offer patients the latest and most advanced medical and diagnostic equipment. Patients from over 110 countries have been treated over the years at the American Hospital of Paris, a testament to its commitment to offer maximum safety of care, which is exemplified by its accreditation by the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) and the U.S. Joint Commission.

As a private, not-for-profit organization, the American Hospital of Paris receives no subsidies from the French or American governments, relying on revenues from operations and on the generosity of patients, donors and patrons in order.

Merci,” for all you are doing to assist in our efforts that enhance the meeting ground for European and U.S. medical science and excellence – the American Hospital of Paris!,” offered Mrs. Chapman during her closing remarks. “There has never been a more important time to support the future of the growing American Hospital of Paris.”
