Pope John Paul the II defined health as “Health is a dynamic tension towards physical, mental, social, and spiritual harmony, and not only the absence of illness…”
The provision of quality health care to all people is a Sisters of Charity Health System hallmark that touches everything we do.
The roots of this ministry lie within the more than 170-year legacy of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine.
The St. Vincent Charity Health & Healing Hub, a neighborhood legacy initiative of the Sisters of Charity Health System, will serve as a hub for the community, offering comprehensive programming and services to address the community’s most critical needs, including housing, food access, education and workforce development. This initiative will continue to serve the neighborhood of the former St. Vincent Charity Medical Center, located on a seven-acre campus in Cleveland’s Central neighborhood—carrying on a legacy that began in 1865. The Health System has several components already in place to make this concept a reality and is identifying new partnerships to expand service offerings.
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.
These organizations have earned national recognition for cutting-edge achievements in clinical practice and innovation, active involvement in meeting ever-changing community needs, and shared commitment to representing the compassion and excellence that distinguishes Catholic health care.
What is Catholic Health care?
In short, Catholic health care providers see their work as an extension of the healing ministry of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church.
The Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine have been devoted to healing since 1851. Their philosophy and mission exemplify the belief that Catholic hospitals continue the healing ministry of Jesus through direct care, outreach services and related health and human services activities. They collaborate with others in bringing services to those who need them most.
Health care is in the midst of rapid change, but the Catholic character of the mission remains a constant within the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine. They continue to seek ways to meet emerging needs while at the same time supporting their present ministries. More than 160 years of devotion to healing is alive and well through the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine.
The Sisters of Charity Health System follows the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. This document offers moral guidance, drawn from the Catholic Church's theological and moral teachings, on various aspects of health care delivery.
