There has long been a St Mary's Hospital in Galveston. Here is a short history: "In 1867 St. Mary's Hospital, Galveston, the first Catholic hospital in Texas, was established by Bishop Claude M. Dubuis and by the recently founded Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, who were trained in France and came to Texas specifically to start a hospital. The original thirty­bed hospital developed by 1994 into an acute-care facility with 322 licensed beds. The sisters so impressed the citizens of Galveston with their dedication and service during a yellow fever epidemic that the city council recommended turning over the city hospital to them in 1868." It is currently located adjacent to the University of Texas Medical Branch complex, at 404 St. Mary's Blvd, near 6th and Market. Jim Turner
