St. Mary's Hospital & Regional Medical Center
St. Mary's Hospital is dedicated to meeting the healthcare needs of the
residents of western Colorado and eastern Utah.
A not-for-profit organization, St. Mary's Hospital was founded in 1896 by the
Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth. The small, wood-framed building, that stood
over 100 years ago, offered only 10 beds. Today, St. Mary's Hospital is the
largest medical center between Denver and Salt Lake City, and boasts over 350
beds.
Approximately 2,000 staff and 300 active physicians, representing more than
40 specialties, provide the high-level and compassionate care. Approximately 700
volunteers support the staff, donating more than 150,000 hours of service each
year.
St. Mary's Hospital is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Health Care Organizations, the American Medical Association
Council on Medical Education, the Colorado Medical Society, and the American
Association of Blood Banks.
St. Mary's is dedicated to providing specialized services, experienced
professionals, and the latest in techniques and technology close to home for the
people of western Colorado and eastern Utah. Visit our website to see what real patients and their doctors are saying about St. Mary's: www.stmarygj.org
Our History
In 1895, Sisters of Charity
Balbina Farrell and Louisa Madden left Leavenworth, Kansas, on a mission to
establish a hospital in the new western town of Grand Junction, Colorado. St.
Mary's, a small, 10-bed, wooden frame hospital, opened on May 22, 1896.
Throughout our history, the generosity of western Coloradans has enabled St.
Mary's to grow to meet healthcare needs. Contributions of land, funds, time, and
talent allowed us to keep pace with an expanding population and medical
advances.

1934: a
new brick hospital doubles the number of beds.

cancer detection center for western Colorado.

and North 7th Street where St. Mary's stands today; community donations help
fund the new hospital building.

critical care unit, a telemetry and intermediate care unit, 20 pediatric care

started.

Hospital, eliminating duplication of services in the community.

away from the busy hospital campus. The Pavilion houses St. Mary's Regional
Cancer Center, outpatient imaging services, and the Regional Blood Center.
- 2005: a multi-story parking structure opens, solving the longtime parking
shortage for patients and visitors.
As St. Mary's celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1996, its leaders
recommitted to the renowned statement of Sister Xavier Ross, founder of the
Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth. In all St. Mary's actions, we will: "... look
forward to the good that is yet to be."
Breaking New Ground
St. Mary's is the
largest and most advanced medical center between Denver and Salt Lake City. In
2005, we announced the Century Project, a major
addition that will add patient rooms and new surgical suites designed to
accommodate the next generation in surgical equipment and technology. Completion
of the addition is expected in 2009.
Visit our website and watch our Century Project video to
see how this exciting expansion and remodeling project will ensure the latest in
quality healthcare will remain available close to home.
Expansion Plans: The Century Project
St.
Mary's is fortunate to be the regional medical center for a thriving, growing
area. But along with that comes the responsibility to work constantly to meet
both current and future healthcare needs with facilities and technology that
bring our patients and medical partners the best healing environment. To meet
the challenge, St. Mary's has embarked on the Century Project, the largest
single construction project in the history of the hospital.
The Century Project provides for the construction of a 434,000 square-foot
Patient Tower and remodeling approximately 75,660 square feet of existing
hospital space. The total project cost will be $261 million.
Since 1896, St. Mary's has expanded with the community to ensure that we can
meet our mission of improving the health of the individuals and communities we
serve. The Century Project will carry that tradition into the 21st century.
