History of St. Luke's Medical Center
Mr. Renhard Hering homesteaded the present site of land where St. Luke’s Medical Center is located in 1904. In 1914, it was surveyed as Hering Addition to the City of Crosby. Dr. Blake Lancaster erected and operated the original brick structure as a medical and surgical facility from 1915 to 1917, at with time M. Allen Person purchased the property from Dr. Lancaster and leased the building for apartments.
When the Benedictine Sisters of Sacred Heart Priority, Richardton, North Dakota, bought the building in 1938 from Mr. Person, it just had the basement and the first floor furnished; the second floor was just a “shell.” For 4 years the Sisters operated it as St. Joseph’s Home for the Aged. By 1941, the City of Crosby had grown to the extent that the townspeople and the surrounding area communities realized their need for a hospital and urged the Sisters to convert the Home into a hospital; which they did, opening the doors on February 11, 1942. At this time the name was changed to St. Luke’s Hospital. In 1965 they moved into a new 25-bed facility, as the old one would no longer meet the requirements of the State Department of Health of North Dakota.
​
The Benedictine Sisters of Sacred Heart Priority transferred ownership and operation of the hospital to the Crosby community and area on July 1, 1984. It continues to be operated as a non-profit institution, which means that income in excess of operation is reinvested in salaries and benefits for employees, modern medical equipment and expansion.
In 2011, St. Luke’s Hospital welcomed Crosby Clinic from their downtown location to a new facility located on the St. Luke’s Medical Complex. Along with the Crosby Clinic moving to the medical complex, St. Luke’s Hospital underwent major renovations adding a new emergency center entrance and ambulance garage attached.
​
On May 1st, 2013, the former Good Samaritan Society facility and employees were welcomed to the St. Luke’s family, becoming the St. Luke’s Sunrise Care Center.
​
The Governing Body of St. Luke’s Medical Center consists of 9 members from the community. This Board defines the objectives for the medical center staff.
