About the Company

Bon Secours

Not-for-profit Catholic health system

Bon Secours Health System operates as a not-for-profit Catholic health system with hospitals, long-term care, senior living, home health and hospice services across seven East Coast states, supported by more than 24,000 caregivers. It runs a coordinated network of care settings—acute care hospitals, long-term facilities, assisted living, home health, and hospice—through owned facilities and joint ventures that allow patients to move between levels of care under a unified mission. It differentiates itself by its Catholic mission and focus on health and social justice, offering a broad spectrum of services under a single system rather than pursuing for-profit growth alone. Its goal is to be a prophetic Catholic health ministry partnering with communities to create a more humane world and provide exceptional value to those served.
