Saint Joseph Health System


The first institution in South Bend to care for the sick, Saint Joseph's Hospital was established in 1882 by the Sisters of the Holy Cross. Today, SJHS is a Ministry Organization of Trinity Health, the fourth largest Catholic healthcare system in the country. We provide personalized, faith-based care paired with the latest in advanced medical technology and procedures.

We are proud to provide private rooms at all of our hospitals, as we strive to create a healing environment and deliver excellence in the patient care experience. In addition, thanks to tremendous support from our communities and the fundraising efforts of our Foundation, our community health centers and outreach programs provide critical medical services for the uninsured and underinsured members of our population.

Our system includes:

  • 254-bed acute care hospital at the Mishawaka Campus
  • 58-bed acute care hospital at the Plymouth Campus
  • 40-bed Saint Joseph Rehabilitation Institute
  • 20 practices of the Saint Joseph Physician Network
  • Community health centers and additional points of access
