Company History
St. Anthony's Medical Center’s long and proud tradition of service to the St. Louis area began in 1900 when the Franciscan Sisters of Germany opened St. Anthony's Hospital in south St. Louis. The Catholic, faith-based foundation was established as the Sisters named the facility after St. Anthony of Padua who patterned his life and healing ministry after the example set by Jesus Christ.
As the community grew, the Franciscan Sisters made plans to expand the original facility. New wings were added in 1904 and 1928, establishing St. Anthony’s as a leading health care provider both nationally and locally. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, St. Anthony's gained national recognition as the Midwest's primary treatment center for polio victims.
