When Saint Marys Hospital opened in 1889 it had the capacity to serve 27 patients; however, the hospital had only a dozen beds, several without mattresses. It was some time before additional beds would be available, and the sisters who worked at Saint Marys often gave up their own beds to make space for patients. Today, Saint Marys can accommodate more than 1,150 patients.
