History

St. Vincent's Hospital (now St. Vincent's Birmingham) was founded in 1898 and is Birmingham's oldest hospital. It was founded by the Daughters of Charity and named after the 17th century Parisian St. Vincent de Paul, who started the Daughters of Charity in 1633. In July 2007, St. Vincent's Hospital merged with Eastern Health System to become St. Vincent's Health System.
