1902
The first mention of Providence Hospital was in the 1902 City Directory. Prominent El Pasoan Dr. Michael Philip Schuster spearheaded the formation of the original hospital, located at 617 N. Santa Fe St., near the current Scottish Rite Temple in downtown El Paso.

1909
This location served until the World War II years, but by then it had become old and outmoded, and unsuited for the new advances in medical equipment and procedures. By the early-1940s, round-the-clock guards had to be hired to patrol the hospital, watching for smoke and fire.

1945
In 1945, a corporate charter was granted to raise $1.8 million for a new 185-bed hospital. One of the first donors was Conrad Hilton, founder of the Hilton Hotel chain, who made a $25,000 donation at the request of Sam Young, founder of the El Paso National Bank. Young served as the project’s chairman and remained the hospital’s chairman of the board for years. Many civic-minded El Pasoans were also instrumental in the hospital’s development, including Robert Hoover, Karl Wyler, John Grambling, Bob Price and Dorrance Roderick.
