History

edit

Driven by the faith of four Daughters of Charity who arrived in Indianapolis in 1881 with $34.77 in their pockets,[2] St. Vincent was built in 1974. The hospital has grown to include six "Centers of Excellence": Women's, Children's, Orthopedics, Cardiovascular, Neuroscience and Cancer Care.
