A ministry of healing
Our goal is to help you feel your best. We provide high-quality, affordable health care with compassion, supporting every patient’s physical, mental and spiritual well-being. This healing approach also nurtures our staff and strengthens the communities we serve.
Our history
Building stronger communities together
We believe everyone deserves the chance to be healthy and are committed to improving the communities where we live, work, learn and pray.
Every three years, our hospitals conduct Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) to better understand and respond to the health concerns that matter most to our community. We use data and community input to identify top health priorities, then create programs and investments that help improve well-being.
Through strong partnerships with local organizations and our communities, we remain dedicated to providing care and services that truly reflect your needs.

As part of CommonSpirit Health, our mission is to deliver compassionate, high-quality, affordable care to every member of our community. Guided by our values, we embrace diversity and treat every person with dignity and respect. We do not exclude or deny services to anyone based on race, color, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. This commitment applies across all programs, services and employment.
Welcoming visitors
At our hospitals, patients have the right to choose their visitors. We welcome family, friends and loved ones who provide care and support. Visitation will never be denied or limited based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or disability.
LGBTQIA+ Care
At Dignity Health, we believe everyone deserves high-quality health care. We understand the history of discrimination faced by the LGBTQIA+ community in health care settings. That's why we're committed to providing respectful, welcoming and knowledgeable care, free from bias. Use our Find a Doctor tool to locate an LGBTQIA+ care provider near you.
At Dignity Health, safety is our highest priority for patients and caregivers. All our hospitals follow Highly Reliable Organization (HRO) principles, with every employee trained to recognize and prevent safety issues. These practices help us deliver consistently safe, reliable care. We also take part in public reporting, including the Hospital Quality Transparency Dashboard, to share results openly and help patients make informed choices. Select from the list below to see your hospital’s results compared with state and national averages. Lower numbers mean better care.
For nearly a century, our hospitals have been trusted community partners, known for leadership, quality and compassionate care. We are also teaching facilities, offering medical education, residency programs and continuing education to support the next generation of physicians. Learn more about our commitment to whole-person care, innovation and serving the diverse needs of our communities.
The California End of Life Option Act took effect on June 9, 2016, allowing physicians to prescribe life-ending medication to eligible patients. The law lets individual clinicians or health systems choose whether to participate. Dignity Health does not take part in activities under this law. This applies to all our hospitals, home care, hospice programs and physicians in the Dignity Health Medical Foundation. Our mission is to provide compassionate care without intentionally hastening or delaying death. We focus on comfort, dignity and supporting life’s natural journey.
We offer high-quality palliative care and honor a patient’s right to decline treatments they feel are too burdensome. Patients seeking more information about the Act will be referred to their primary care physician. For more details, speak with your doctor or visit the Coalition for Compassionate Care of California.
At Dignity Health, kindness and generosity go hand-in-hand. There are many ways to give back, whether through financial contributions or by volunteering your time and talents. Our foundations raise vital funds to support hospital programs, patient care, medical research, and training for doctors and nurses:
Your contributions help us advance treatments, expand services and care for those who need it most. Volunteering is another great way to contribute to the community, gain experience in a hospital setting and make a difference in the lives of others. From greeting patients at the front desk to supporting emergency services and assisting families in waiting rooms, our volunteers generously share their time, skills and talents across nearly every department.
- Stay connected with us on social media for health tips, inspiring patient stories, updates on new services and community events. Our channels celebrate wellness, share important health news and give you a closer look at our care teams in action. From expert advice to wellness challenges and behind-the-scenes moments, there’s something for everyone. Join our online community and be part of the journey to better health.
