BEECH GROVE, Ind. -- For nearly a century, the unwavering healing mission of Franciscan St. Francis Health-Beech Grove (1600 Albany St.) has been embodied by generations of clinical staff, employees and volunteers and their relationship with people in this community.
As the hospital prepares to consolidate its inpatient and other clinical services to its Indianapolis campus (March 12-16), a closing mass at Holy Name Catholic Church (across the street from the Beech Grove hospital) and other actitivies will be held 1:30 PM WEDNESDAY, FEB. 29. The Mass will include clergy from that church, Archdiocese of Indianapolis and the hospital, and others in the community.
Following Mass (approximately 3 PM), a closing service will be held at the hospital and a public viewing of a large-scale gallery show, featuring photography and memorabilia from the hospital's founding in 1914 through present day.
