Saint Vincent Hospital

>Saint Vincent Hospital is a 381-bed hospital located in Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded by the Catholic Sisters of Providence of Holyoke in 1893, Saint Vincent's was named after the patron saint of the Sisters' order, Saint Vincent de Paul. In 1990, the hospital merged with the Fallon Healthcare System. Vanguard Health Systems purchased the hospital in 2005.

But the original mission was for the ministry to serve the sick without all those nonsense $$$ politics. It is true that Saint Vincent’s does not perform abortions and won’t prescribe BCP on the campus from what I heard. There is actually a clause that the Catholic Church could buy back the hospital but it would be impossible $ wise. The whole point of going to the hospital and being treated like your family is long long gone due to short staffing and very heavy regulations. Up to including excessive duplicative charting.
