History

On July 1, 1899, six of the Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis moved to Rockford at the request of the citizens to open a hospital. [1] The order had previously moved to America from Prussia in 1875, when Otto von Bismarck banned religious orders from the country. [1] With the help of the real estate agent William Crotty, the sisters were able to purchase a house on the corner of East State St. and Summit St. Community members donated the supplies and furniture for the first hospital. [2]
