St. Vincent Hospital 125th

Founded as a small Catholic community hospital by the Sisters of Providence on September 8, 1893, the original hospital had 12 beds and overlooked the city from Vernon Hill. The facility was first named after Saint Vincent de Paul, the patron saint of the Sister’s order. In 1898, the hospital was incorporated, and in 1899, the Sisters expanded into a 150-bed building to further their ability to care for the community.
