St. Philomena's Hospital

St Philomena’s Hospital was established in Bangalore in 1937 by a small group of JMJ sisters headed by Dr Sr Mary Veronica Pitt, an Australian qualified gynecologist who joined the congregation of JMJ Society. The Society of Jesus Mary and Joseph was founded in Holland in 1822. The Bangalore center was started in a very poor locality of the city as a health center which grew up to the present state of the art hospital. It is located in the central district of Bangalore, in close proximity to MG Road, Garuda Mall and other landmarks.
