BUCKHANNON – More than 100 years ago, four Pallottine Missionary Sisters departed Germany on a journey to America. After narrowly avoiding tragedy – they initially booked passage on the Titanic before delaying their trip – the four women eventually found a home in the small Appalachian town of Buckhannon, West Virginia, where they purchased a private residence and converted it into a small, eight-bed hospital.
Thus were the humble beginnings of St. Joseph’s Hospital in 1921.
A century later, the legacy of those founding Sisters endures, with Sister Francesca Lowis determined to carry on the Pallottine Missionary Sisters’ mission of providing quality healthcare in under-served, north-central West Virginia.

Dr. Anne Rimoin, a professor of epidemiology at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, said she thinks there is a real chance at a summer with much lower rates of disease, however, it means we all have to pull together and do our part by getting vaccinated, wearing masks, social distancing and practicing hand hygiene.
