Description: Amsterdam, NEW YORK - Amsterdam City Hospital - 1916: In 1903, the pastor of St. Mary's Church, Monsignor Brown, asked the Sisters of St. Joseph to start a Catholic hospital in Amsterdam. This year, St. Mary's Hospital is observing the centennial of that founding with events including a gala ball, concert, golf tournament and historical activities. The original 27-bed hospital was located in the farm home of the Marcellus family on what is now Guy Park Avenue. The building was enlarged in 1913, with other major building projects in 1927 and 1948. The current complex on Guy Park Avenue dates from 1980, with enlargements through the past two decades. The School of Nursing, founded in 1920 and closed in 1987, is recalled with fondness. Today, there are more than two thousand Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet serving in America, Peru, Japan and Chile. However, there are fewer nuns at St. Mary's in Amsterdam today and the hospital is no longer headed by a member of the Carondelet order. Last year, St. Mary's became part of Ascension Health, the largest Catholic health care organization in the nation. This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1916, is in good condition.
