News, information and inside stories from Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital.
Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital is Atlanta's longest-serving hospital, founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1880. Four sisters, with just 50 cents between them, opened the Atlanta Hospital — the city’s first after the Civil War.
What started in a small house on Baker Street is now a 32-acre campus in North Atlanta. Our mission is the same today as it was over 130 years ago — to provide compassionate care, excellence, commitment, and integrity especially to those in need.
We commit ourselves to honor the intrinsic dignity of all persons, both those we serve and those who serve, make a positive difference in the health of our communities, collaborate with those who share our mission and values, advocate for a compassionate and just society and lead in clinical innovation.
