History

Portage Health was founded in 1896 as St. Joseph's Hospital in Hancock, Michigan. It was set up in Bishop John Vertin's home, and stayed there until 1904 when St. Joseph's Hospital opened in a new building on Water Street. The hospital received accreditation by the American College of Surgeons in 1924, becoming the first Copper Country hospital to become accredited, and one of just 14 in the state at the time. In 1949, the hospital began building a new building on Michigan Avenue. In 1972 St. Joseph's Hospital became St. Joseph's Community Hospital. In 1976 the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet transferred ownership to the community, and the name was changed to Portage View Hospital. In 1995 the name was changed, this time to Portage Health System, and in 2000 the hospital moved to its current building on Campus Drive in Hancock. [4]
