History

In 1912, at the request of several Madison physicians and local clergy, eight Sisters of Mary arrived from St. Louis, Missouri where the congregation had founded St. Mary's Infirmary. They proceeded to establish a "Sisters' Hospital" for the city of Madison. St. Mary's Hospital opened its doors and its 70 beds on September 22, 1912.[3]
