Why it matters:
St. Rose is marking a milestone, celebrating its rich history which began when seven Adrian Dominican Sisters traveled by train from Michigan to assume operation of Henderson’s first and only hospital as it was being shut down after World War II.
From these roots, Nevada’s only faith-based, non-profit hospital grew with the community, playing a role in the stories of many southern Nevada families. Whether they were born in our hospitals, welcomed a child with us, or at some point allowed us to care for a loved one, tens of thousands of southern Nevadans have a tie to one of our hospitals.
For 75 days leading up to the June 27 anniversary, St. Rose will recount the history of the hospital in stories, photos, documents, and videos on our Social Media Channels. The tradition of St. Rose is part of the history of our community and we celebrate the legacy of humankindness left by the seven brave women who started it all.
