St. Elizabeth Health Services

St. Elizabeth Health Services is a private Roman Catholic hospital in Baker City, Oregon, United States.

[2] The Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia opened as St. Elizabeth Hospital on August 24, 1897, as requested by Archbishop William H.

[2] A kind of health insurance was offered to the miners who paid one dollar a month to the hospital.

During the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic, many influenza patients were treated at the hospital, and sisters also went to people's homes to care for them.

Shortly thereafter the name was officially changed to Saint Alphonsus Medical Center - Baker City.
