The Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ founded Saint Elizabeth Hospital in 1887 to care for German immigrants. In 1894, the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth established Saint Mary of Nazareth Hospital Center to care for Polish immigrants. As time passed and neighborhoods changed, these two Catholic health care ministries worked side by side to care for everyone who lived in their service communities.
On March 1, 2001, the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth and the Sisters of the Resurrection entered into an agreement to co-sponsor Resurrection Health Care. With this agreement, Saint Mary of Nazareth Hospital Center and Holy Family Health Medical Center became part of the co-sponsored system. On October 1, 2001, The Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ transferred their sponsorship of Saint Elizabeth Hospital to the Resurrection Health Care System.
On September 1, 2003, Saint Mary of Nazareth Hospital Center and Saint Elizabeth Hospital became joined together operationally under a new name, Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center. Under one name and a new Chief Executive Officer, Margaret McDermott, along with a unified medical staff and an integrated management team, the new Medical Center strengthens the Catholic health care ministry which has been dedicated to serving the community for more than 100 years.
