Ascension Health St. Mary's Hospital (formerly Presence St. Mary's Hospital, AMITA Health St. Mary’s) is a non-profit hospital in Kankakee, Illinois.[2][1] It is a 182-bed acute care facility with a Level II Emergency/Trauma Center. It is part of the Ascension healthcare system.
History[edit]
Originally known as the Emergency Hospital, Presence St. Mary's was opened in March 1897 by the Sister Servants of the Holy Heart of Mary. In 1925, it was renamed St. Mary's Hospital. In 1997, the Servants of the Holy Heart of Mary combined with the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart and Sisters of Mercy of Americas to form Provena Health, and the hospital name changed to Provena St. Mary's Hospital. This merger allowed the hospital to expand its services and increase the level of complete health care.
In 2012, Provena Health & Resurrection Health Care completed a merger and selected Presence Health as their new name. In 2018, the hospital's name was changed to AMITA Health St. Mary's Hospital after AMITA Health acquired Presence.[1] In 2021, AMITA Health was dissolved when AdventHealth and Ascension ended their joint venture. AMITA St. Mary’s hospital became Ascension Saint Mary’s hospital. [3][4]
