25th Anniversary
of St. Joseph Health System
The seeds of the St. Joseph Health System began
in 1920 when the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange
reopened the hospital in Eureka and named it
St. Joseph Hospital. Although their original calling
to the area was to provide a Catholic school, their
mindset to always fill the need at hand led them
to healthcare during the flu epidemic of 1918. |

Childhood Obesity
The image of a happy, healthy child is one of the most
satisfying sights in the world. They run, jump and swim with
smiles and giggles punctuating every move. Sadly, this picture
is not a reality for many children as they are faced with weight
problems and the negative impact of childhood obesity. |
