History
Our history
St Bernardine Medical Centers history is a story of caring compassion and community service that began in 1929 in a rural Southern California community with Wild West quotcow townquot origins

In 1928 San Bernardino was a rapidly expanding community with little access to quality medical facilities It was then that Dr Philip Savage a wellrespected and highlycredentialed local surgeon approached Father Patrick Dunn pastor of St Bernardine Catholic Church with his dream for a firstclass hospital He had personally experienced the level of care and compassion provided by the Franciscan Sisters who operated the Catholic St Marys Hospital in Rochester Minnesota That level of care for body mind and spirit was Dr Savages vision for San Bernardino

With the support of Father Dunn Dr Savage approached Mother Mary Placidus Superior General of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word in Houston Texas with a dream to build a hospital that would care for a community in need

On October 10 1931 California Governor James J Rolph laid the cornerstone of the new hospital and convent It was named to honor Bernardino Albizeschi an Italian who exhibited exceptional courage and compassion during the plague of 1400 which killed thousands and later earned him the title quotSaint Bernardinequot

St Bernardine then and now
The original hospital was 125 beds It included five surgery rooms an operating theater for observation and teaching six solariums wellequipped clinical laboratories special treatment and Xray rooms and modern kitchens

These original facilities served San Bernardinos needs until the early 1950s In 1956 another collaborative community fundraising campaign was launched to add space for more than 120 additional beds The 3 million South Wing opened in 1960 inaugurating the nowrenowned Inland Empire Heart Institute

More major construction took place in 1970 when a 14 million nursing tower and health care center was completed Twenty years later in 1990 a sixstory patient tower was built adding the Matich Conference Center and a new cafeteria as well as Outpatient Services In 2002 changes included the addition of a 61 million Critical Care Unit Ballard Center for Advanced Care and an expanded Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory and OB Services

Today St Bernardine Medical Center is a 463bed nonprofit acute care hospital with the latest technology and advanced services from family care to cardiac surgery Dr Savages dream of a firstclass hospital with care and compassion has become a reality Guided by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word ours is a culture based on a strong set of core values driven by a mission of service and expressed through our compassion and care of body mind and spirit
