YOUNGSTOWN
St. Elizabeth Health Center is offering self-guided tours during an open house today at its hospital at 1044 Belmont Ave. from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The open house is part of St. Elizabeth’s 100th anniversary celebration. St. Elizabeth Hospital, which would become Humility of Mary Health Partners, was founded Dec. 8, 1911.
Displays of the self-guided tour show some of the hospital’s milestones of the last 100 years, including a Centennial Historical Display at the south end of the Park Avenue lobby.
The historical display, dedicated on Dec. 8, 2010, at the start of the year-long centennial celebration, includes photos and artifacts that trace the changes in health care and the growth of HMHP during its century of existence, and a video of current and past employees talking about their experiences.
