In 1908, the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St. Francis came from their motherhouse in Stevens Point, Wisconsin to Ohio to staff schools in Polish parishes. A provincial convent was established in 1926. In 1939, there was a shortage of hospital beds and emergency treatment facilities in the city. The Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Third Order of Saint Francis joined with a group of physicians to solve this problem. They started an advisory board in 1945. Four years later, they received to purchase 15 acres of land next to the Provincial Convent. They borrowed $750,000 to break ground on the facility's building. Marymount Hospital officially opened its doors in October 1949 as a not-for-profit acute-care hospital in Garfield Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. The 125-bed hospital was run by the Sisters of Saint Joseph.
