The spirit that built and maintained St Vincent is still carried on today by dedicated medical staff employees volunteers and benefactors who live by the creed of caring for the patient first Because of their dedication St Vincent Hospital has entered the 21st century as a thriving innovative regional health care leader offering the finest medical care of the day
