st. mary’s hospital

In 1907, the sweet Sisters of Mary were bestowed with the original St. Mary’s Hospital at 28th and Main Streets. They’d already worked with the sick for near a decade before the namesake charity hospital, which held 250 beds in a sanitary brand-new building. The hospital would shortly see additions such as a chapel, a separate space for medical training for new recruits and an entire house devoted to the nurses who worked there. Today, St. Joseph Hospital and St. Mary’s have been merged under Carondelet Health, and St. Mary’s is located in Blue Springs, Mo.
