History of St. Vincent2000-Present
2000: A $26.6 million major demolition and new construction project involves tearing down the hodgepodge of old structures on the east side of St. Vincent Hospital and putting up a five-story “super block” for patient services including new quarters for the Regional Cancer Center and Regional Emergency Center. Across the street, a new building to accommodate the hospital’s support services – the heating plant, mailroom and materials services loading dock – goes up with a tunnel beneath the street connecting it to the hospital.
2004: St. Vincent opens its cardiac cath lab, the start of a new heart program.
2006: The Heart Center opens in May with cardiothoracic surgery suites and a Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit to complete the full range of heart services at St. Vincent.
2007: A $4.8 million Window Wall Replacement Projects sees the installation of all new windows on the west side of St. Vincent’s 10-story building, replacing the old windows that have served the hospital for 50 years.
2008: Those four early Sisters planted the seeds of a hospital ministry whose efforts have created a staff of over 2,225 more than a century later. Each day we find new and better ways to bring the best medical care to our patients with the same dedication and commitment of the caring, innovative Hospital Sisters who started our charge and inspire us yet today.
