About us
Over the last 50 years, our hospital has grown to be a leader in medical advancement with a focus on providing the community comprehensive and compassionate medical care.
A history of dedication
We are grounded in a solid foundation and maintain the mission of our founders, providing health, healing and hope to all in the spirit of its Catholic traditions.
Our hospital's history
Our hospital began with the dedication of religious communities committed to healthcare for Manchester’s residents. In 1892, the Sisters of Mercy opened Sacred Heart Hospital, followed by Notre Dame Hospital in 1894, led by Monsignor Peter Hevey and the Sisters of Charity of St. Hyacinthe. In 1974, these two hospitals merged to form Catholic Medical Center. We continue to help local faith communities by providing care to their members and neighborhoods through our Parish Nurse Program.
During the past five decades, our hospital has become one of New Hampshire’s largest medical centers, dramatically expanding its services with a continual focus on delivering the highest quality healthcare. We’ve had a chance to mark several milestones by being the first in the state, first in New England or first in the country to offer leading-edge medical treatments and technologies.
