History
Our History
At St Peters caring for the community dates back to the principles established by the foundress of the Religious Sisters of Mercy Catherine McAuley

In 1824 when she inherited a large fortune at the age of 50 Catherine McAuley used the money to build a large house in Dublin Ireland It became the first House of Mercyand was the home where Catherine and several other women provided educational religious and social services for women and children who were poor homeless and in need

Carrying on that mission in 1869 four Sisters of Mercy founded St Peters Hospital in downtown Albany NY on November 1 They had journeyed to Albany from New York City in 1863 and arrived with 80 cents in total but they began their mission in Rensselaer NY

The first hospital was financed thanks to a very generous donation of 15000 from the family of Peter Cagger an attorney who had died The hospital is named for him

Over the years the scope of hospital services continued to grow St Peters moved to its present site in 1930 and has grown its campus steadily to meet community needs

In 2005 the hospital began comprehensive capital improvements to increase efficiency convenience and privacy to provide a stateoftheart campus for the 21st century

Today St Peters health system serves to nearly 4000 people every day with comprehensive medical services free educational programs and a host of community health screenings throughout the region
