Providence Hospital traces its roots to 17th-century France, where in 1633 a parish priest, Vincent de Paul, and an aristocratic widow, Louise de Marillac, founded a new religious order dedicated to serving the poor. Unlike other Catholic sisters, the Daughters of Charity were not cloistered. Instead, they took their ministry to the people most in need.

Nearly one hundred and eighty years later, a young widow and mother of five children felt called to establish a similar religious community in the United States. Elizabeth Ann Seton, later named the first American-born saint in the Catholic Church, founded the Sisters of Charity in Emmitsburg, Maryland in 1809.

Persistent bouts of yellow fever plagued Mobile throughout the 1800s, and in 1841, Mobile's first bishop, Michael Portier, asked the Sisters to come to Mobile to care for children who lost their parents to this devastating disease. Four Sisters from Emmitsburg arrived to that year to work at the Catholic Orphans' Asylum (the facility we now know as St. Mary's Home). In 1852, the Daughters of Charity, as they were by then know, began work in Mobile's City Hospital. 

In 1995 Seton Medical Management was formed to establish a network of physicians, nurses, and caregivers of all specialties to serve our local community.  Today, with over 20 locations around Mobile and the surrounding area, Seton Medical Management is providing quality healthcare, and physician billing services to meet the needs of our region.
