History

Richmond University Medical Center was established on January 1, 2007. The hospital was previously called St. Vincent's Hospital. St. Vincent's was opened in 1903 under the direction of the Sisters of Charity of New York. In 1999 Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center took control of the facility.

What began as a hospital to treat tuberculosis patients has grown into a full hospital campus with a level 1 trauma center and a place renowned for its care of women and children, delivering over 3,000 babies each year. In March 2008, RUMC announced it would be closing several clinics due to a fiscal crisis. As RUMC struggles to chart its financial course in the face of $26 million in loans it must soon pay back in full, lawmakers are hoping the state Legislature will provide relief by passing a bill to free up a fund for non-profit agencies.
