The provision of quality health care, especially to people living in poverty, is a Sisters of Charity Health System hallmark that touches everything we do. The roots of this ministry lie within the more than 156-year legacy of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine.  These organizations have evolved to meet ever-changing community needs, clinical practices and technology with a shared commitment to represent the compassion and excellence that distinguishes Catholic health care.
