Welcome to CommonSpirit Health.
Office of the CEO
Two legacies of compassion.
CommonSpirit Health was formed by the alignment of Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) and Dignity Health. Founded by women religious, both health systems have a long, proud legacy of serving all people in need, especially those who’ve been made vulnerable by poverty, age, and other hardships. CommonSpirit Health is continuing these legacies by actively advocating for positive social change.
The common good needs bold ideas.
Human trafficking. Domestic violence. Opioid addiction. Our communities have big problems in desperate need of bold solutions—solutions that require the kind of scale and resources of a nationwide health system like CommonSpirit. Through innovative programs and technologies, we are addressing social issues and root causes that can lead to long term chronic diseases and poor health—along with other needs like home-based health care and affordable housing programs.
Building a nation of healthy communities.
With more than 700 care sites across the U.S.—from clinics and hospitals to home-based care and virtual care services—CommonSpirit is accessible to nearly one out of every four U.S. residents. Visit our map to find the care center nearest you.
Healing begins with people.

“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.”

CommonSpirit Health is a single health care organization formed by Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI), Dignity Health, and Dignity Community Care. CommonSpirit Health will perform most health care operational functions on behalf of or in collaboration with CHI, Dignity Health, and Dignity Community Care. As a system of health care providers, we work towards improving health care by leveraging expertise and data in a single Organized Health Care Arrangement (OHCA) under HIPAA.
