== History == |

It was founded on [[December 8]], [[1856]] by Catholic nuns, hailing from the [[Sisters of Providence]]. As such, it is the first (and largest) Providence hospital.[http://www.spokanejournal.com/spokane_id=article&sub=2996] It was moved (as well as expanded) to the [[Spokane, Washington neighborhoods#South Hill|South Hill]] upon higher demand in 1910. As hospital technology became modernized, SHMC expanded to include services such as a psychiatric ward and radiation treatment facilities by Dr. William Dittman in the 1960's. In 2003, it opened a massive [[children's hospital]], the first and only in [[Eastern Washington]]. On [[November 28]], [[2006]], SHMC completed their 200th heart transplant. |
