History
Opened by four Mercy sisters, it was the first hospital in the city after the Civil War. In 1900, Atlanta Hospital began its School of Nursing where it educated and trained more than 1,320 nurses over the next 73 years. Through the years, the Hospital grew and became known as the St. Joseph's Infirmary. The hospital has had three locations throughout its history: Baker Street, Courtland Street, and currently a 32-acre (13 ha) site just inside the perimeter of Atlanta. It is where the Atlanta Marriott Marquis is currently located. The current campus was dedicated in 1978 when the hospital was renamed Saint Joseph's Hospital of Atlanta (SJHA).[4]
The site has expanded greatly since it was opened in 1978 and now accommodates 410 beds serviced by over 750 physicians. The hospital had 16,358 admissions in the most recent available data. It performed 7,251 annual inpatient and 4,939 outpatient surgeries. There were 33,745 visits to its emergency room.[5] Saint Joseph's Hospital of Atlanta is a non-profit hospital.
