Bill > HR607

This resolution recognizes and congratulates St. Joseph's Hospital in Savannah, Georgia, on its 150th anniversary, highlighting the hospital's long and significant history in the community. Starting in 1875 when the Sisters of Mercy took over the Forest City Marine Hospital, the institution has become a trusted healthcare provider known for compassionate care, medical expertise, and cutting-edge medical technologies. As a not-for-profit community hospital, St. Joseph's has had a profound impact on generations of Georgians, with a mission-driven philosophy rooted in service and mercy. The hospital strengthened its community presence in 1997 by affiliating with Candler Hospital, forming the largest healthcare provider in Southeast Georgia, and has been nationally recognized for its community outreach programs. The resolution officially congratulates the hospital, the Sisters of Mercy, its leadership team, and workers, extending best wishes for continued service to Savannah and surrounding regions, and directs the House Clerk to make copies of the resolution available for public distribution.
