Building History

Iniitally, Father William B. O'Connor considered creating an elderly living facility in Stockton, CA, but was convinced by local physicians that a hospital and elderly care center would be a better combination. When it opened on 12/21/1899, the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael staffed the Saint Joseph's Hospital in Stockton, equipped with 25 beds. (See "Dignity Health.org, "St. Joseph's Medical Center, Stockton: History," accessed 01/14/2025.)

In 2025, Saint Joseph's had grown to include 355 beds, and employ 2300 people, including approximately 900 physicians.
