This medallion captures the historical and humanitarian contributions of the Daughters of Charity in New Orleans. History of Hotel Dieu Hotel Dieu Hospital in New Orleans was established by the Daughters of Charity in 1859. This hospital was intended to provide private healthcare, specifically serving vulnerable populations such as enslaved people and seamen during the Civil War. Unlike other private hospitals, Hotel Dieu continued operating through the war, remaining open as the only private hospital in New Orleans at that time. This commitment underscored the Daughters of Charity's dedication to healthcare, particularly for those often neglected by other institutions? WIKIPEDIA ? FAMVIN . Throughout the 20th century, Hotel Dieu became known for medical advancements. In 1913, it was the first hospital in the United States to install air conditioning in its surgical suites, setting a standard for patient care and comfort. The hospital also contributed to critical medical research, particularly in the 1940s, with pioneering work on sulfonamide drugs to treat meningitis? In 1992, the State of Louisiana purchased Hotel Dieu, transforming it into University Hospital, which continued to serve the New Orleans community until 2015, when operations moved to the new University Medical Center. Despite its eventual transition, Hotel Dieu’s legacy remains tied to the dedicated service of the Daughters of Charity and their lasting impact on healthcare in New Orleans?.
