St. Luke's Hospital
St. Luke's Hospital is a 493-bed, full-service, nonprofit Hospital with more than 800 physicians on its medical staff, experts in more than 30 medical specialties. The Hospital had its beginnings in November of 1865. A small group of concerned Episcopalians met to decide how the Episcopal Church could respond to the health care needs of persons in the St. Louis area.
The Episcopal Church led this health care ministry called St. Luke's until 1948. At that time the Presbyterian Church (USA) joined the Episcopalians to co-sponsor the Hospital. Both continue to be involved in St. Luke's to this day.
