St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center was founded in 1897 by Mother Ann Valencia and the Sisters of Saint Joseph, who came to Hartford from Chambery, France. Saint Francis began in a former seminary. Today, Saint Francis has 617 acute inpatient beds and 65 bassinets and is the largest Catholic hospital in New England, the hospital says. The hospital joined with Mount Sinai Hospital in 1990 in the first affiliation between a Catholic hospital and a Jewish hospital in the United States. Five years later, the two hospitals completed a formal corporate merger. Saint Francis is now a major teaching hospital and a tertiary referral center. According to Saint Francis officials, the hospital offers major clinical concentrations in cardiology, oncology, women's health services, rehabilitation and orthopedics. Nearly 2,100 medical students, interns, residents, fellows, student nurses and other healthcare students receive education at Saint Francis each year. Through its parent organization, Saint Francis Care, Saint Francis maintains affiliations with Bristol Hospital and Saint Mary's Hospital, Waterbury, as well as Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers and Connecticut VNA Partners.
