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

How it all began CHI St Vincent has embodied a spirit of charity love of the poor and a sincere desire to end suffering from its inception as quotThe Charity Hospitalquot in 1888 to the current era of managed care and rapid change in health care CHI St Vincent owes its existence to an epidemic that did not occur In 1878 yellow fever was ravaging the South and was as near a Memphis It seemed only a matter of weeks maybe days before the fever would strike Little Rock which had few physicians and no hospital service at that time
