Becoming CommonSpirit Health

A legacy of care. A new name to carry it forward.

Although we are in the process of changing the name of our care sites, we have been part of CommonSpirit Health, a non-profit Catholic health system, since 2019. We remain rooted in the communities we serve, but are connected across the country.

It is important to know that this change will not affect your care, the physicians and nurses who deliver your care or the services you receive at any of our locations.
