St. Vincent’s Hospital began with a simple, but radical mission: to care for all those in need regardless of race, creed, or financial means. It served as a testament to the vision and labor of the Sisters of Charity who founded, staffed, and administered the hospital with exceptional skill and devotion. This talk recounts the history of a truly remarkable institution and its impact on health care in New York City and beyond.
