On July 26, 1905, Spohn Hospital opened on North Beach in Corpus Christi, Texas. The Sisters of the Incarnate Word cared for their first patient, alongside Dr. Arthur E. Spohn. Dr. Spohn had the vision to build a hospital where he could provide healthcare for the 7,000 residents of Corpus Christi. The Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word of San Antonio answered God's call and responded to Dr. Spohn by agreeing to operate the hospital. The sisters traveled the dusty trail to Corpus Christi to open Spohn Sanitarium. Together, the three sisters helped keep his vision alive by managing and serving in the new hospital.Number of Partnerships: 10
