History

St. Joseph Hospital, later known as Trinity Hospital, was founded in 1952. The hospital had 110 licensed beds at the time.[1] It quickly grew to its present-day size of about 231 licensed beds and became known for pioneering many medical firsts. Among them include cochlear hearing implants, stereotactic mammography, and a unique treatment program for hip and knee replacement.

Trinity was sold by its owner, Ascension Health, to Triad Hospitals in 2006.[2] Triad merged with Community Health Systems in 2007.[3] Trinity was sold to University Hospital (Augusta, Georgia) in 2017, to become University Hospital Summerville.[4]

gollark: > You breed maybe once or twiceActually, I may just not have children, it seems inconvenient and annoying.
gollark: My inability to visually imagine things is really helpful on the internet, honestly!
gollark: This very long conversation maaaaay have not really gotten anywhere and created/exposed some large divisions in the server, but oh well.
gollark: > and thus define human breeding as an inherent functionAnyway, you seem to just be defining it as one, and I'm not sure what you're trying to say by that beyond that having children... is a thing we can do, and one which evolution selects for to some degree. That doesn't make it *the right thing to do* all the time.
