— History: St. Anthony Hospital celebrated its 112th birthday on Aug. 1. Two Sisters from the order of the Sisters of St. Francis traveled from Missouri to Oklahoma City in search of funds to support their local hospital but were asked to stay and open the first hospital in Oklahoma City. In 1898, the small house opened its doors with 12 patient beds.
