This resolution congratulates St. Joseph's Hospital in Savannah, Georgia, on its 150th anniversary of service, which dates back to 1875 when the Sisters of Mercy took over operations of a local marine hospital. The resolution honors the hospital's long history of providing medical care to the Savannah community and Southeast Georgia, recognizing its reputation for quality medicine, compassionate care, and commitment to public health. The hospital strengthened its regional presence in 1997 through a partnership with Candler Hospital, creating a large health care provider that has earned national recognition, including an American Hospital Association award, for community outreach programs serving vulnerable populations. As a not-for-profit institution, St. Joseph's has maintained local control while expanding its medical services and impact across generations. The House formally extends congratulations to the hospital's leadership, staff, and the Sisters of Mercy on this milestone anniversary and expresses best wishes for its continued growth and service to the region.
