Our History

In 1824, the sisters of Bon Secours were founded in Paris. Bon Secours means "good help" and it was in 1881 that the sisters expanded their healing mission to the U.S., eventually establishing a non-profit Catholic healthcare system. Our goal has always been to provide compassionate, quality healthcare to those in need. This ambition is not only embraced by our doctors and nurses, but by everyone.
