At St. Mary's, we are dedicated to our mission to be a compassionate and transforming healing presence in the
communities we serve.

St. Mary's is much more than a hospital. We are a health care ministry that includes three hospitals, numerous
physician practices, our region's first medical residency program, one of the state's pioneering home health
care/hospice services, a retirement community, extensive outpatient services, and much more.

We are proud to be part of Trinity Health, one of the nation's largest Catholic healthcare organizations. Partnering
with Trinity, we not only are able to bring the strength of a national healthcare ministry to our communities, we
are on the leading edge of helping to develop best practices that will have an impact across America.
