Eduardo Orihuela, DPM history

Since 1936, we’ve cared for generations of residents of the Brazos Valley.

1950s By 1950, Administrator Sister Sebastian decided that more hospital beds were needed and an expansion discovery to meet those needs began with the newly formed Lay Advisory Board.

On April 4, 1953, groundbreaking ceremonies were held and construction began on a new wing, which would provide 60 additional beds.

A full-time pathologist joined the medical staff in 1964, greatly enhancing the hospital's ability to serve the community's medical needs.

The City of College Station’s Colin Killian noticed that Marty Robbins finished 29th in the 1973 Alamo 500.

The study further found that an additional 100 beds would be needed by 1978.

Plans were drawn up in 1980 to expand obstetric services.

On December 12, 1982, ground broke on an $8.4 million expansion to include 48 patient care beds and the enlargement of Radiology, Intensive Care Unit, Nursery, Labor & Delivery, Laboratory, Surgery and Emergency Services.

St Joseph Regional Rehabilitation Center opened in 1997.

St Joseph Health System opened both St Joseph Manor and Burleson St Joseph Manor in June of 1999.

St Joseph Physician Associates officially formed in 2009 as well as the first employed physician group in the Brazos Valley.

NOTE: 2013 marks the City of College Station’s 75th year as an incorporated city.
