Our History
St. Joseph's Hospital and Maternity was established to take care of the health of the
people in the area. The Hospital under the care of the Holy Rosary Sisters was registered with one hundred
and one (101) beds in1939. It soon grew to one hundred and thirty-three (133) and, then, one hundred and
eighty-eight (188).
In the same year, 1938, it was found necessary to establish the School of Midwifery to train local women to
join them in ministering to sick people and, especially, to pregnant women. Later Arch Bishop Heerey went on
pilgrimage to Lourdes, in France.
