- Description:
- View of two nurses viewing a baby in an incubator at Saint Joseph's (later renamed St. Joseph's Hospital) on Collins Street (now Courtland Street) in Atlanta, Georgia.
Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1880, Atlanta Hospital was the city's first permanent hospital, located in a two-story brick house at the corner of Baker and Collins (now Courtland) Streets. The hospital was subsequently renamed St. Joseph's Infirmary and in 1885, its original building was replaced by a three-story building facing Collins Street between Baker and Harris Streets. In 1978, the renamed St. Joseph's Hospital dedicated its new facility near Peachtree Dunwoody Road and I-285. - Local Identifier:
