New Hotel Dieu Hospital

New Hotel Dieu Hospital

The image shows Hotel Dieu in 1953. It was situated at the corner of Stanton and Arizona streets. The old building had gradually been substituted by this new construction. In 1892 Sister Stella had bought the site and with $60,000 borrowed from the Motherhouse, three Daughters of Charity started building Hotel Dieu in 1893. It was the first general hospital in El Paso, Texas. There was no electricity and lighting was done by gas. Heat was provided by wood fires. In need for more trained personnel, the sisters also started a nursing school connected with the Hotel Dieu in 1898. In 1987, the hospital was sold to Millbrook, and the name was changed to Landmark Medical Center. One year later, the hospital was sold again. Columbia purchased the medical center and closed it later that same year. The building was demolished in 2003.

I was born there in 1944. My father was stationed at Ft. Bliss. I was premature and needed to stay there for 10 days with my mother. The total stay costs about $75.00 (mom and baby). We went back to Illinois in a military train when dad was subsequently posted overseas. I still have the Hotel Dieu birth certificate with my footie prints.

Is this what Hotel Dieu looked like in 1950? My Mom was born there.

On July 7, 1892 the State of Texas granted a charter to the Daughters of Charity to incorporate the hospital under the name the name of Hotel Dieu.

Catholic nuns built and served health needs of residents of borderplex of El Paso TX. March is Women's History Month.

In 2019 the El Paso Independent School District began building main office on the site of this building.
