Congregation of the Sisters of Bon Secours, a nursing order founded in France in 1824, sent three members to Baltimore in May, 1881, at the request of Cardinal Gibbons. Their first U. S. convent opened at West Baltimore and Payson Streets the following year. The sisters were soon widely known for their long hours and compassionate care of the sick. Bon Secours Hospital began here with 22 beds in 1919. Marker erected in 1981 to celebrate 100 years of health care on this site.
