History
For a moment imagine 1875 Its 10 years beyond the end of the Civil War Ulysses S Grant is the US president Railroads are the central industry of the country The American population is dominated by farmers Erie like most cities has no hospital Its 28000 residents are cared for by a handful of doctors who have set up practice in this growing port

But the Sisters of St Joseph are about to make history Already caring for orphans and teaching in local Catholic schools theyre now called to enter the ministry of health care

For months the Sisters canvass the city seeking donations The community generously supports their cause and on September 5 1875 Eries first medical institution St Vincents Hospital is open Its a threestory 12bed hospital staffed by one surgeon and seven dedicated Sisters who handle everything from nursing to laundry

The Sisters ministry to the sick began with an unfortunate accident in front of the St Joseph orphanage in 1874 After caring for an injured man other cases were soon brought to the Sisters until demand became so great that Mother Agnes Spencer obtained permission from Bishop Mullen to build the hospital

Over the next 130 years the original building was expanded other buildings were constructed and the health center quotcampusquot was formed Saint Vincent Health System grew to encompass sites such as other health care facilities and physician practices that are in the regional community Learn more about our Mission and Vision The following chronology highlights the 130 years of caring provided by health system associates
