Early History
The Sisters of Bon Secours established their first hospital in Baltimore in 1919. By 1980, the sisters had established or assumed responsibility for several Catholic hospitals, long-term care facilities and other health care services.

The Health System Today
The Bon Secours Health System was formed in 1983 to provide skilled, unified management and professional resources for all health care operations while preserving Bon Secours' Catholic tradition of providing quality care to all, especially the poor and sick. Today, the Health System is a $2.25 billion not-for-profit organization comprised of seven local systems primarily on the East Coast. The Health System owns, manages or joint ventures 16 acute care hospitals, 5 nursing care centers, and 5 assisted living facilities, as well as independent living and other facilities. Bon Secours Health System consists of more than 16,500 caregivers helping people in ten communities in seven states.

Bon Secours Vision
Inspired by the healing ministry of Jesus Christ and the charism of Bon Secours, the long term vision of the Bon Secours Health System is to be recognized for its leadership in justice, transforming the communities in which we serve and work into places of health and hope and being a prophetic voice for systemic US health care reform and a more humane world.
