1929 The dream of a hospital in Thibodaux became a reality in 1929 when St. Joseph Hospital was born. The 26-bed hospital was opened in an old rectory building on 690 East First Street. The new hospital officially opened its doors to the sick of Lafourche and the surrounding parishes on January 19, 1930. Rev. Monsignor Alexandre M. Barbier, Dr. J.L. Danos and Dr. Theo Beatrous were instrumental in the development of the hospital. 1953 Due to increased census, a new building was built on the site of St. Joseph Hospital. The new 40-bed hospital opened its doors on January 27, 1953. The new hospital went under the leadership of the Catholic Sisters of Mount Carmel. 1953 The first Mount Carmel Sisters to staff St. Joseph Hospital were, from left, Sister Joseph Francis, Sister Bertha, Mother Irene, the administrator, Sister Eucharia and Sister Ignatius.
