Although the hospital has changed over the years its caring culture flourishes thanks to the continued hard work and dedication of the Sisters Today St Joseph retains its Catholic identity and reputation as a high touch hospital

The hospital recently celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Sisters with the dedication of a Labyrinth of Inspiration The 40000 garden and labyrinth now serve as a place of solace and peace as visitors are invited to walk the path in the wooded setting

Today St Joseph is a 25bed critical access hospital In addition to serving the community as an inpatient facility for primary care the hospital is home to several unique outpatient programs in the region including the Center for Senior Renewal the Sleep Disorders Center and a cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program
