St. Joseph Hospital celebrates 100 years in service

NILES, Ohio (WKBN) — A milestone celebration was held Tuesday for one of Trumbull County's leading providers of medical care.

For many of those 100 years, St. Joseph was operated by the Sisters of Humility of Mary. Among the items on display was an early habit worn by the sisters.

"Every day when we come to work, we are continuing their legacy by taking care of those that are the most sick, poor and underserved," said President Charlotte Gardiner.

Among the crowd was Sister Millie Ely, one of the last of the Humility of Mary Sisters to be the hospital's president.

"That 100 years, God's grace and hand had to be in that endeavor, and that's certainly true of St. Joe's," Ely said.

From its founding in 1924 until 1996, the hospital was located on Tod Avenue in Warren. It's now located on Eastland Avenue SE.
