Community Benefit work is at the root of the Sisters' healing ministry. Community benefits delivered by each of our hospitals is grounded in the Sisters' first work to identify the needs in the community and address them. St. Joseph Health System provides a wealth of community benefit responses at each of its ministry areas in California, Texas and New Mexico. Since the creation of the first system facility over 75 years ago, partnerships and community efforts have served hundreds of thousands of community members.
