Saint Joseph Hospital is a 468-bed medical center located in Lexington, Kentucky, United States. It was founded in 1877 and is the oldest hospital in Lexington. The hospital is part of Catholic Health Initiatives.
History[edit | edit source]
Saint Joseph Hospital was founded on October 2, 1877 by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, a Bardstown, Kentucky-based group. The hospital was started by Sister Euphrasia Stafford, a member of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. In 1998, Saint Joseph acquired Jewish Hospital Lexington, which was later renamed Saint Joseph East. Berea Hospital joined Catholic Health Initiatives in 2003, and Mary Chiles Hospital in Mount Sterling joined in 2007. In 2008, Saint Joseph HealthCare and three other hospitals owned by Catholic Health Initiatives formed the Saint Joseph Health System. In 2012, the health system merged with Jewish Hospital HealthCare Services/UofL Health to form KentuckyOne Health.
