About Us
Our History
More than 150 years ago, the Religious Sisters of Mercy, Daughters of Charity, and local municipalities founded our hospitals, schools of nursing and health ministries in New York’s Capital Region. These groups were dedicated to improving the health of those living in their communities. To better serve those communities today, the facilities they created came together as St. Peter’s Health Partners in 2011.
St. Peter's Health Partners is one of the Capital Region’s largest, most comprehensive not-for-profit health care networks. Our full range of services, along with support and care coordination, help people achieve their health goals.
