History

St. Vincent Hospital was created in 1888 by the Third Order of Saint Francis.[3] The first hospital was in a home on Quincy Street in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and consisted of just one chair, four beds, and a kettle for laundry.[3]

In 1894, the hospital purchased eight lots on Webster Avenue, and the next year a new hospital building was built at this location.[3]

In 1957, a large, modern addition opened, enlarging the hospital to 437 beds.[3]

In 1998, the hospital partnered with Bellin Health and County Rescue Services to construct a helipad and purchase a rescue helicopter named EAGLE III.[3]

In 2015, the hospital upgraded their pediatric unit into a new St. Vincent Children's Hospital, and became a member of the Children's Hospital Association.[4][5]

In 2016, St. Vincent became the first hospital in Wisconsin to begin offering a Bioresorbable stent.[6]

Medical operations

St. Vincent Hospital partners with Prevea Health, which is also owned by Hospital Sisters Health System, to provide health clinics throughout northeast Wisconsin.[7]

The hospital also operates St. Vincent Children's Hospital, which is located within the main hospital building, but as a separate division.[5]

St. Vincent Hospital also provides sideline physicians for the Green Bay Packers, and players are brought to the hospital for injuries sustained during games.[8]
