Description

Founded in 1861, St. Elizabeth Hospital traces its roots to the visionary leadership of Henrietta Cleveland. Recognizing the needs of a rapidly growing Northern Kentucky, Cleveland established a hospital dedicated to caring for the poor and underserved in her community. With the support of Rev. George Carrell, the Diocese of Covington’s first bishop, social activist Sarah Worthington King Pete, and the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor, the hospital opened its doors on January 23, 1861, on 7th Street in Covington, KY.   Join Dr. Brian Hackett as he reveals more of the incredible history behind the NKY healthcare cornerstone, on Tuesday, Nov. 12, at 6:30 p.m. during the NKY History Hour: Immigrants and Catholics: The Incredible Story of the Founding of St. Elizabeth Hospital, streaming live on Zoom and Facebook Live.
