Stormont–Vail HealthCare (SVHC) is an extensive medical facility in the city of Topeka, Kansas. The facility provides a nonprofit hospital and integrated health care system for Shawnee County and the northeast Kansas region.
The Stormont–Vail Regional Medical Center was formed in 1949 by a merger of two earlier Topeka facilities, Christ's Hospital (founded by Bishop Thomas Vail) and the Jane C. Stormont Women's Hospital and Training School for Nurses, both established in the 19th century. When the regional hospital merged with the Cotton–O'Neill Clinic in 1996, the governing foundation adopted the new name Stormont–Vail HealthCare.
Facilities
The present-day Stormont–Vail HealthCare complex operates a 586-bed acute care hospital as well as a large integrated network of primary and specialty health care providers.[1] In 2015, SVHC was awarded an "A" grade for overall patient safety by the independent nonprofit PSO The Leapfrog Group.[2]
History
Christ's Hospital
Christ's Hospital was the first hospital in Topeka, founded in 1884.[3] The hospital was conceived and developed by the Rt. Rev. Thomas H. Vail (1812–1889), then the Episcopal bishop of the Kansas diocese. The bishop and his wife had already created Kansas's first training school for nurses, Christ's Hospital School of Nursing, in 1892.[4] That same year, the bishop put forward his proposal for a community hospital;[5] eagerly received, the project was begun in May 1883 and completed by May of the following year.[3][6][7] The bishop and his wife had deeded the land for the hospital, a full ten acres of property, to the people of Topeka for one dollar.[8]
Affording accommodations for twenty-four patients, the original two-story building was located between 8th and 10th Avenues west of Washburn Avenue in downtown Topeka.[4] It was significantly expanded in 1899 and 1902 (by the addition of the eastern Kyle Annex and the western Wayne Annex, respectively)[3] but it endured as a wooden structure until 1920, when a massive renovation project commenced.[9] Construction took seven years, but ultimately the original building was replaced with a new Italian Renaissance-style, pink stucco building which remains today in the center of the SVHC complex.[10]
