HEALING WITH COMPASSION, SERVING WITH FAITH

The Sisters of Charity Health System is grounded in the compassionate mission of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine. It is committed to holistic healing, social justice, and the creation of healthier communities through high-quality healthcare, elder care, and social services.

The Sisters of Charity Health System:

The Sisters of Charity Health System, guided by the mission of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, serves all individuals with faith, hope, and love. It manages a diverse network of Catholic healthcare, elder care, and social services, including hospitals and outreach organizations. Focused on holistic healing and social justice, the system works to build healthier communities by addressing critical needs and advocating for the vulnerable.

Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine:

The Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine (CSA) is a vowed religious congregation devoted to God and a life of service. We engage in prayer, healthcare, parish activities, and community outreach, including food pantries, homeless shelters, and immigrant services. We always seek to follow God's call.

History of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine:

Since their arrival in Cleveland in 1851, the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine (CSA) have been pioneers in healthcare, education, and social services. They established the city's first public health nurses and founded Saint Joseph's Hospital in 1852, followed by Saint Vincent Charity Hospital in 1865. Their ministries expanded across Ohio and beyond, including the establishment of Providence Hospital in South Carolina. After Vatican II, the CSA refocused on social justice, healthcare, and community outreach, leading to the creation of the Sisters of Charity Health System. Today, they continue their legacy of charity, service, and faith.
