St. Vincent's Hospital (Normandy)

St. Vincent's Hospital was a Catholic hospital in Normandy, Missouri.

In 1858 the Sisters of Charity founded St. Vincent's Sanitarium for those with nervous and mental diseases.

It opened in August 1858 at Ninth and Marion Streets in St. Louis with four patients and fifteen sisters.

In 1891, the home relocated to St. Charles Rock Road in St. Louis County.

The 1930 St. Louis Census lists 357 individuals.

The home was in part financed by the patients' fees. By 1941 the home was operated by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul for the treatment of mental and nervous disorders as well as selected cases of alcoholism and drug addiction. The home remained in existence until the 1980s.

The Census collection consists of three record books of the St. Vincent’s Institution for the Insane: cash ledger, 1858-1867; contracts of obligations for patients, 1859-circa 1890; and record of doctors' prescriptions for patients, 1901-1904. It can be cited as, "Records of Saint Vincent's Institution for the Insane, Missouri Historical Society, St. Louis".
