#TBT today goes all the way back to 1896! Here is a photo of the first hospital site on Colorado Avenue. The other is an article clip from The Daily Sentinel on May 22, 1896 announcing the opening of St. Mary’s. Fun fact- it’s a bit unclear when the Sisters of Charity first opened their doors in Grand Junction. According to hospital records, St. Mary’s first patient was a “Mr. Henderson” a few days before May 22, 1896. No Grand Junction newspapers, hospital records, or documents have been found that recorded an official opening date. Nonetheless, The Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction did give the hospital its first official coverage, announcing its opening to the public on that day!

Great happiness comes from the simple, daily acts we perform. We wish you and those you love a day filled with joy.

St. Mary's is a 💯% flu shot campus. Even this guy! Thanks for your leadership Dr. Davidson! Call your primary care Physician or the Mesa County Health Dept. today to get your flu shot, and keep it healthy out there!

Take heart in knowing that we have the opportunity to reap the joy of God’s love daily.
