Description
CHI St Vincent Infirmary is a 600bed faithbased notforprofit hospital and level II trauma center serving the health care needs of Central Arkansas
History
In 1888 Mother General Cleophas leader of the religious community with five Sisters of Charity of Nazareth Kentucky arrived at the Little Rock train station on the slow moving Iron Mountain Railroad Sisters Mary James Cornelia Mechtildes Mary Sebastian and Hortense were invited to Little Rock by the Most Rev Edward Fitzgerald Bishop of the Little Rock Diocese
A 10bed Charity Hospital was founded on East Second Street by the Hagers estate and with the support of Little Rock financier Edward Parker and others It was the first hospital outside the boundaries of Kentucky which the Sisters of Charity would operate
