Our history
Building stronger communities together
At St. Joseph Health, our mission is to care for everyone in our community. We dedicate significant resources to programs and services that improve access to health care for underserved populations, including those who are uninsured.
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 feedback to identify and prioritize key health challenges and develop and implement plans for community programs and other meaningful investments in health and well-being.
Through strong partnerships with local organizations and communities, we remain dedicated to providing care that truly reflects your needs.
We are proud to be a part of an organization dedicated to a healthier future for all — inspired by faith, driven by innovation and powered by our humanity.

In times of serious illness or injury, you may be unable to make your own medical decisions. To ensure your wishes are respected, you can create advance directives. These legal documents allow you to express your preferences regarding medical treatments, including medications, X-rays and lab tests. They also address critical life-sustaining measures such as CPR, mechanical ventilation, dialysis, blood transfusions, and artificial nutrition or hydration. By creating these documents, you can ensure your voice is heard and your values are upheld, even when you cannot speak for yourself.

The DAISY Foundation, founded in 1999 by the Barnes family, honors the memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died at 33 from complications of idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP). Inspired by the exceptional care Patrick received during his eight-week hospital stay, his family created the DAISY Award, which recognizes nurses who significantly impact patients' lives.
DAISY Award honorees at St. Luke’s Memorial embody our core values:
Reverence: Respect for all creation, shaping spirituality and relationships
Integrity: Moral wholeness, fidelity and truthfulness
Compassion: Solidarity and empathy for others
Excellence: Outstanding performance and dedication to being our best.

The BEE Award recognizes non-nursing staff based on five key principles (PETAL: Passion, Excellence, Teamwork, Accountability, and Leadership).
