CHI - KentuckyOne Health (Central-Eastern)

Calendar of Events MARY CHILES was the mother of Alex Chiles, one of three donors whose generosity made the purchase of the hospital property possible in 1918 and made Saint Joseph Mount Sterling is what it is today. While the hospital's name has changed, Mary Chiles and her son's generosity are not forgotten. To help ensure this, a monument honoring Mary Chiles was placed at the entrance of the hospital. A public dedication of the Mary Chiles monument was held on Jan. 26. Now, everyone who begins their journey with the hospital can be reminded of how the hospital's journey began. HONORING MARY CHILES — THE HISTORY BEHIND MOUNT STERLING HOSPITAL Earning a reputation for exceptional care, quality and dedication to the community isn't a simple task. It requires a past that you can be proud of. Today, Saint Joseph Mount Sterling, part of KentuckyOne Health, provides thousands of people in Montgomery, Bath, Powell, Menifee and surrounding counties with exceptional care — an impressive feat that didn't happen overnight. In 1918, three area residents saw a need for a hospital in the Mount Sterling community. They purchased a home for $6,440 and renovated the space to create a hospital. One of the donors, Alex Chiles, was given the honor of naming the hospital. He chose the name Mary Chiles Hospital to honor his late mother. During the hospital's first year of operation, it served 183 patients and 82 surgeries were performed. Mary Chiles Hospital continued to grow its patient base, and in 1957, the hospital moved to a new, larger facility built on land donated by two local women, Mrs. Robert Winn and Mrs. Bridges White. As the Montgomery County and Mount Sterling communities continued to grow, the hospital never lagged behind in making sure that its facility could accommodate those in need. Mary Chiles Hospital became Saint Joseph Mount Sterling on Aug. 1, 2007. The hospital relocated to a new $60 million, 114,000-square-foot facility in 2011. While health care may look little like it did when three forward-thinking residents purchased an old house, the mission of the hospital remains the same: Help those in the community that need it most.
