Actually, we are one and the same. In 1922, at the request of the Bishop and community, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace came to Ketchikan to provide health care for the community. The Little Flower Hospital on Bawden Street housed the hospital and clinic facilities and the sisters lived nearby. In 1963, the City of Ketchikan constructed the new Ketchikan General Hospital and asked the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace to continue to provide hospital care in the community. The City leased the new hospital to the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace for a nominal fee to ensure continued hospital and related healthcare service in the community.
