History of St. Joseph's Hospital In 1868, Fort Wayne was still without a hospital although it was a city of 25,000 inhabitants. With this factor in mind, Bishop Luers, aided by ' x others in the community, purchased the Rockhill House, a hotel on the corner of Broadway and Main Streets. The Bishop then invited Sisters of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ from Germany to oper- ate the facility. In 1869, St. Joseph's opened its doors to the Fort Wayne community as its first hospital, Through the years additions have been added until today it stands a 410 bed general hospital. Throughout its almost one hundred years of service to the community, it -has endeavored to serve the sick. With God's help and our efforts, it will continue to perform this function for which it was founded.
