Our Story

The Sisters of Charity Health System, rooted in the faith-based legacy of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, is a beacon of hope, serving 1.3 million people per year. With a mission to uplift individuals, families and communities, we provide services that heal the whole person, such as health care, care for older adults, behavioral health, support for children and families, meal and produce services and outreach programs across Ohio and South Carolina.

Ministries, Programs and Initiatives
