CHI St. Vincent Hospital in Hot Springs on Wednesday opened a 97-year-old time capsule recovered from the cornerstone of the soon-to-be-demolished St. Joseph Hospital.
The hospital was erected in 1927 by the Sisters of Mercy, and operated for decades before being repurposed as a dormitory for the Arkansas School of Math, Sciences, and Arts.
The building is set to be demolished in 2025. Michael Millard, Market Director of Mission for the hospital, said the time capsule was an exciting find that reinforces its history and mission.
