Catholic health care organizations are committed to improving the health status of communities and to creating quality health care that works for everyone, especially those most in need.
In cities and towns and rural areas throughout the U.S., Catholic health care services are reaching pregnant women, infants and children, homeless people, veterans, disabled persons, people facing life-threatening illnesses, as well as those seeking routine medical care to maintain good health.
Whether caring for victims of pandemics or natural disasters, advancing the professionalism of caregivers, building state-of-the-art medical facilities for growing community needs or championing passage of health reform legislation, Catholic health care organizations remain true to their mission of love and healing, guided by the Gospel and the moral teachings of the Catholic Church.
Since 1915, these organizations have come together in the Catholic Health Association of the United States to achieve collectively what they could not individually. Through CHA, the ministry raises its passionate voice advocating justice and compassionate care for people of all ages, faiths and backgrounds from conception to natural death.
