Saint Joseph - Mount Sterling, formerly Mary Chiles Hospital, became a member of Saint Joseph Health System on August 1, 2007. From its founding in 1875; the hospital has been committed to a goal of serving the people of the Mt. Sterling area, including Montgomery, Bath, Menifee and Powell counties.

Saint Joseph - Mount Sterling delivers a wide range of services, including a 24-hour emergency department, cardiac and pulmonary rehab, Diabetes and Nutrition Center, Joint Center, maternity services, Sleep Wellness Center and surgical services.

As of January 1, 2011, we have reinvented, redefined and recommitted our process and have introduced the No-Wait Emergency Room at Saint Joseph-Mount Sterling to better serve the people of the Mt. Sterling area, including Montgomery, Bath, Menifee, Powell counties and surrounding areas.

The concept behind a No-Wait ER is to begin emergency care within five minutes of arrival. The triage process begins at the door. You are automatically seen by an ER nurse, who is authorized to begin treatment, according to your needs, within the first five minutes.

Physical and logistical changes have been made, from the first step you take through the front door till the minute you leave the department.

Saint Joseph-Mount Sterling is proud to present our new facility, scheduled to open in the summer of 2011. The new SJMS will have a total of 40 private inpatient rooms, along with an intensive care unit, operating rooms and maternity unit. The emergency department will have 14 private treatment rooms.

Construction is scheduled to complete in May, 2011.  Currently mold resistant drywall is being placed throughout the building, interior framing has been completed, and roofing is complete.
