History

A history of how the Sisters of St Benedict created a healthcare system and hospital in Ogden Utah and what St Benedict
s Hospital now known as Ogden Regional Medical Center has become since they did this in 1946

Acting upon a mission statement of quotAbove all else we are committed to the care and improvement of human lifequot Ogden Regional Medical Center ORMC is a cornerstone of Weber County ORMC offers invaluable expertise gained from almost 70 years of delivering exceptional patient care With an outstanding staff of 500 physicians and 1100 employees and volunteers ORMC is devoted to providing highquality healthcare and not only meeting but exceeding expected standards through continuous responsiveness to technology advanced procedures and individual patient care For ORMC the only thing more constant than the need to change and adapt is its unwavering commitment to giving its best every day

Originally founded on September 18 1946 under the name of St Benedicts Hospital one might say the hospital got its start on quota wing and a prayerquot when a few sisters of the Order of St Benedict journeyed from St Joseph Minnesota to the foothills east of Ogden Utah intent to quotcaring for the sick as if they were Christ in personquot

With a selfless service philosophy the sisters quietly embraced the community with their gentle care tender approach and dedication The sisters ardent commitment to serving the communitys healthcare needs led to the opening of St Benedicts Hospital on Polk Avenue in Ogden as well as many significant changes and expanded services through the years some of which include

This program became the basis for Weber State Colleges Practical Nursing Program
