About the Sisters of Charity Health System

“One loving heart sets another on fire.” — Adapted from writings of St. Augustine

The Sisters of Charity Health System was established in 1982 as the parent corporation for the sponsored ministries of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine in Ohio and South Carolina.

The Health System oversees a diverse array of ministries, programs and initiatives dedicated to health, human services, housing, education and spiritual care, as well as grant-making foundations in Ohio and South Carolina focused on reducing poverty, working to end homelessness, and improving educational and health outcomes in underserved communities. Headquartered in Cleveland, the Health System continues the 175-year mission of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine to heal, serve and advocate for individuals and families across communities in Ohio and South Carolina.

The Sisters of Charity Health System oversees the St. Vincent Charity Health & Healing Hub in Cleveland, Ohio. It serves as a campus hub for the community, offering comprehensive programming and services to address the most critical needs in Cleveland’s Central neighborhood. This initiative will continue to serve the neighborhood of the former St. Vincent Charity Medical Center. The Health & Healing Hub is a geographic campus and coordinated system of care, designed to respond to the complex realities of the Central Neighborhood by addressing the social determinants of health through a connected, whole-person approach.

The Sisters of Charity Health System provides residential eldercare services at Regina Health Center in Richfield, Ohio, and Light of Hearts Villa in Bedford, Ohio.
