For over a century it has been our mission and remains at the heart of everything we do.

Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center in Reno, NV, is a 380-bed hospital with more than 3,400 physicians, employees and volunteers committed to the vision and mission begun by the Dominican Sisters over 100 years ago. We're a part of a 42-facility, not-for-profit healthcare system known as Catholic Healthcare West; we have been recognized by the American Psychological Association as a Psychologically Healthy Workplace; and we have recently been ranked #1 in quality in Nevada by HealthInsight, Nevada's Medicare-contracted quality-improvement organization.
