Saint Marys Hospital is one of two hospitals in Rochester, Minnesota, operated by the Mayo Clinic. It contains 1,157 licensed beds and 53 operating rooms.

Mayo Eugenio Litta Children's Hospital is an 85-bed hospital within Saint Marys Hospital.

The Mayo Clinic Psychiatry and Psychology Treatment Center in the Generose Building is also part of the Saint Marys campus.

The six buildings that comprise Saint Marys Hospital are named in honor of Saint Marys' foundress, Mother Alfred, and its five administrators, Sisters Joseph, Domitilla, Mary Brigh and Generose. The Francis Building honors the many Franciscan sisters who have served at the hospital since its founding.

Saint Marys Hospital was founded in 1889 as a result of a collaboration between Mother Alfred Moes of the Sisters of St. Francis, who had a "community" in Rochester, and the Doctors William W., William J., and Charles H. Mayo, who practiced medicine in the city.
