Columbia St. Mary’s

Exciting New Facility

Columbia St. Mary's Hospital has a history of community service that spans more than 150 years. In 2005, we broke ground on a new 670,000 square foot "hospital of the future." The new facility is scheduled to open in 2010 and is just a 5 minute drive from our residency program's offices at the Family Health Center.
