The American Hospital of Paris Foundation
30 March 1976
Creation of the Foundation
On March 30, 1976, the American Hospital of Paris Foundation was legalized (incorporated) in Washington, D.C.
The American Hospital of Paris Foundation is a separate legal entity from the American Hospital of Paris and has its own Board of Directors.
The Missions of the Foundation
Since 1976, our country’s bicentennial year, The American Hospital of Paris Foundation has been the vital link between the United States and the American Hospital of Paris.
Through our events, annual fund, and gifts from our generous leadership, the Foundation has raised funds to provide needed improvements in technology and facilities for the Hospital.
Our goal is also to create programs that facilitate a healthy exchange between the United States and France of medical ideas, techniques and personnel.
The American Hospital of Paris is the only civilian hospital outside the United States accredited by the U.S. Joint Commission based on its stringent U.S. standards.
The Hospital is not subsidized by the French or American governments and relies on patient revenues and contributions for its operations. With the help of friends and supporters throughout the world, the American Hospital of Paris will continue to be America’s Hospital in Europe.
