In Feburary 1954, St. Leo Hospital in Greensboro closed its doors. The Hospital, which was opened in 1906, was staffed by the Sisters of Charity and also functioned as a School for Nursing. It was placed under the patronage of Pope St. Leo the Great in deference to Abbot-Bishop Leo Haid, OSB who was, at the time, Apostolic Vicar of North Carolina. The building that housed the hospital was later renovated and became Notre Dame High School.
