History

Perspective
Deaconess was founded in 1892 by a group of Protestant ministers and laymen in a small house on 604 Mary Street, Evansville, Indiana, as a 19-bed hospital.[2] In 1897 the house was moved to the back of the lot. A new building was constructed on the corner and opened in 1899.[2]
In 1922, a four-story addition was built and further construction in 1948 added new administrative offices and two nursing units. The hospital expansion and transformation continued through the 1960s and 1970s to its present-day form.[3]
In October 2022, Deaconess took over four Southern Illinois facilities and hospitals. The facilities included Heartland Regional Medical Center in Marion, Illinois, Red Bud Regional Hospital in Red Bud, Illinois, Crossroads Community Hospital in Mt. Vernon, Illinois, and Union County Hospital in Anna, Illinois.[4][5]
In 2023, Deaconess partnered to utilize a Health Catalyst, Inc. enterprise analytics and outcomes which work to improve clinical, operational, and financial domains for the overall health system.[6] In February, Deaconess announced that Memorial Hospital was to be an affiliate of Deaconess.[7] Deaconess started to utilize new artificial intelligence at their command center in August.[8] The system was brought on by Jeff Terry, the CEO for GE-Healthcare, who created this technology to further healthcare for Deaconess.[8]
