Community & Physician Partners


Part of French Hospital Medical Center's (FHMC) mission as a not-for-profit, mission driven hospital is to partner with other nonprofit organizations. With this mission in mind, FHMC has reached out to physicians, community leaders, cancer survivors, and cancer support organizations to provide the necessary guidance and community support essential to the Hearst Cancer Resource Center (HCRC). This unique collaboration emphasizes a holistic approach to a patient's wellbeing during their cancer care. Some of our community partners include American Cancer Society, Enhancement, Inc., The Wellness Community, and Cancer Connections of San Luis Obispo County.
