"At the Service of the Family for Life"

Santa Teresita Medical Center is a Catholic non-profit organization which has its origins back to 1930 when the Sisters established a tuberculosis sanatorium for young women and girls.  Santa Teresita Hospital opened in 1955 and numerous medical services were added over the years.  Although the acute hospital closed in 2004, Santa Teresita Medical Center remains in service to the community and our former hospital facilities are being used for a growing list of new services.

We currently offer a continuum of care for seniors that includes independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, hospice, and a contiuum of care.  Additional services are in development.
