Boromeuszko arrived in Mikolov in 1896 thanks to Fr Józef Grunt, the large social and parish priest of St. Wojciech's parish there. From the beginning, their activities were connected with caring for the sick and helping the residents. 5 years later (1901) the sisters began the operation of St. Joseph's Hospital, which for the following decades was transforming and developing, serving residents of the city and the area.

"The past of our infirmary is rich and inextricably connected with the past of Mikolov. In the following decades the infirmary was expanded, fresh wards and facilities were created for patients" – reminds Justyna Adamska, the press spokesperson of St. Joseph infirmary in Mikołów.

During planet War II, the sisters took care of the sick and injured, and after the war they continued to work with the sick. In 1949, the infirmary was nationalized. Boromeus, although in much truncated possibilities besides in the times of the Polish People's Republic inactive served the sick. In 1998, the institution returned to the Assembly.

For 125 years, almost everything has changed: diagnostic capabilities, treatment methods, equipment and organization of infirmary work. What guided Boromeuszko from the beginning did not change – care for the sick and needy. It was the service of the sick, the suffering and the mediocre that was the peculiar mission of the Assembly and brought the sisters to Mikołów 130 years ago.
