Description

Three Sisters of the Little Company of Mary came to the United States in 1893 at the request of a Chicago civic leader whose wife had been cared for by the Sisters in Rome The Sisters continued caring for the sick and dying in the Chicagoland area for 37 years before building the original Little Company of Mary Hospital in 1930

Continuing their mission of caring for the sick in their homes Little Company was the one of the first hospitals to offer hospice care to the metropolitan Chicago community in the 1970s Little Company experienced an even bigger first in 1950 when three of its physicians performed the very first human organ transplant of a kidney creating worldwide medical history
