Carondelet

For more than 135 years, Carondelet Health Network has been committed to providing Southern Arizona with a full spectrum of high-quality, cost-effective care and improving the health of patients. That commitment extends across a network comprised of St. Mary’s Hospital, St. Joseph’s Hospital, Holy Cross Hospital, Carondelet Neurological Institute, Carondelet Heart and Vascular Institute, as well as medical and specialty group locations and imaging centers throughout Tucson, Green Valley and Nogales.

St. Mary’s

Established in 1880, St. Mary’s was the very first hospital in Arizona, founded by Bishop Jean Baptiste Salpointe after the executive of Tucson’s new railroads appealed to him for the creation of a hospital. Initially, there were just twelve beds with two medical doctors and four nuns assigned as nurses. The small hospital was sold to the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet in 1882. Today, Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital, part of Carondelet Health Network, remains the flagship for Southern Arizona’s oldest health care provider. As a founding member of the National Chronic Care Consortium, the hospital and its staff are working to create a “continuum of care” for patients, where they can receive health care services at home, in the community, in an outpatient setting or at a long-term care center.
