History

Construction of the hospital began in 1962 on a 74-acre plot of land on the outskirts of Smithtown, Long Island, New York. It was opened in 1962[ citation needed ] as St. John's Smithtown Hospital, a not-for-profit hospital operated by the Church Charity Foundation of Long Island, an Episcopal (Anglican) organization.

At the time of its opening, the hospital had a total of 160 employees. By its fifth year of operation, it had grown to 357 full-time employees and 151 part-time, and had provided services to nearly 100,000 patients. A local Smithtown newspaper ran an article on the fifth anniversary of St. John's opening, celebrating the hospital's delivery of Suffolk County's millionth resident. [6]

With various expansions, the hospital campus has grown to 110 acres, and now has 296 hospital beds and 240 nursing home beds. [7] [8] Expansions and additions to the hospital have included:

St. John's Smithtown Hospital was purchased by the Catholic Health Services of Long Island (now known as Catholic Health) on February 29, 2000, and renamed St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center [14] after the 14th-century Catholic saint, theologian, and nurse Catherine Benincasa.
