St.Vincent Hospitals and Health Services, Indianapolis

In 1878, Bishop Francis Silas Chatard, who himself was a physician before he was ordained, sought to promote the establishment of a Catholic hospital in Indiana to be operated by the Daughters of Charity. This new hospital was located in an unused seminary building next to St. Joseph's Church on East Vermont Street in Indianapolis.

On April 26, 1881, the first four Daughters of Charity came as true pioneers: brave in heart, strong in zeal and poor in pocket, sharing only $34.77 between them. The bishop gave them $50 more to begin their Mission…converting the abandoned seminary into a hospital.

In 1889, just eight years after their arrival, the Sisters moved to a new facility at South and Delaware streets on the southeast side of downtown Indianapolis. They had been in their second home for less than 20 years when it became apparent that they must seek a third location. Before the move was made, however, the infirmary decided to give itself a new name, so in 1911 its legal name was changed to St.Vincent Hospital.

The new site lay on the north bank of Fall Creek, between Capitol Avenue and Illinois Street on the north side of Downtown Indianapolis. Thus, St.Vincent moved to a new 250-bed hospital on Fall Creek in February 1913, a location that served as St.Vincent's home for the next 61 years.

By the 1960s, overcrowding, expansion and renovation were the rule and talk was beginning about a new building. Land along 86th Street between Ditch and Township Line roads on the far-Northwestside was purchased for a new hospital. Ground was broken for the new hospital on Jan. 8, 1971.

On March 31, 1974, through a massive community effort headed by Administrator Carlos McDonnell, D.C., medical resident Dr. Philip Eskew Jr. of the U.S. Army Reserve, and aided by the 337th General Hospital Unit of the U.S. A.R., the transfer to hospital number four was made in three hours and 20 minutes.

St.Vincent is dedicated to spiritually centered, holistic care, which sustains and improves the health of individuals and communities. Rooted in the loving ministry of Jesus as healer, we commit ourselves to serving all persons with special attention to those who are poor and vulnerable. We are advocates for a compassionate and just society through our actions and our words. The ageless mission of St.Vincent remains unchanged: to minister to the minds, bodies and spirits of those in need.
