Bon Secours St. Francis Downtown Hospital is located in Greenville, South Carolina, and operated by Bon Secours, part of Bon Secours Mercy Health.[1]
Bon Secours St. Francis Downtown Hospital's history begins with the construction of Emma Moss Booth Hospital. Emma Moss Booth Hospital was built in 1921 by the Salvation Army and local textile executives to serve the workers of the local textile mills. The hospital closed during the Great Depression in 1931 and the Sisters of St. Francis were asked to take over management. The hospital reopened in 1932 under the name St. Francis.[2][3][4]
In 2000, with the population of the Sisters of St. Francis declining, the order turned the hospital over to Bon Secours Health System.
