About CHRISTUS Health
Caring for your health and the people you love
When you or a loved one needs care for pain, a diagnosis or a chronic condition, figuring out what kind of care is needed and where to go can be overwhelming.
Finding answers for an unfamiliar health concern can feel frightening, especially when you're not sure what is wrong or where to start. In those moments, you need more than care. You need a trusted healthcare partner who can help guide you to the right level of care and support you over time.
Too often, healthcare can feel disconnected. You may wonder whether you're seeing the right provider, missing an important next step or traveling farther than necessary to receive care. You want confidence that your doctors, hospitals, specialists and support services are working together and focused on what matters most: helping you achieve better health.
As a not-for-profit Catholic health system, CHRISTUS Health is guided by its mission to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. That mission shapes a connected network of care designed to support you and your family over time, not just for one appointment but through prevention, diagnosis, treatment, recovery and long-term health.
Across Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arkansas, Chile, Colombia and Mexico, CHRISTUS Health connects you to physicians, specialists, hospitals, outpatient services and community resources designed to make healthcare easier to access, navigate and understand.
Inspired by our mission
Our mission is more than a statement. It traces back to the pioneering sisters who traveled to Texas in the late 1800s to care for people facing illness, poverty and hardship. Their spirit of compassion, service and faith remains at the heart of CHRISTUS Health today.
It serves as the foundation for how we care for you, support communities and make decisions across our health system.
As a Catholic, faith-based health system, CHRISTUS Health is called to provide compassionate care, promote health and wellness and improve access to care for all people, especially those who are vulnerable.
That commitment influences every aspect of your experience, from the way we care for individuals and families to the investments we make in physicians, technology, facilities and clinical programs that help bring care closer to home.

Orthopedic care designed around recovery
Whether you're managing arthritis, recovering from an injury or considering joint replacement surgery, orthopedic care often involves more than a single appointment or procedure.

Comprehensive heart and vascular care
Heart and vascular conditions often require care from multiple specialists working together.

As part of our commitment to advancing cancer treatment, eligible patients may have access to clinical trials that evaluate promising new therapies and approaches to care. These research opportunities help expand treatment options while contributing to the future of cancer care.
A health system built around communities
Our commitment extends beyond hospitals, clinics and medical offices because health is shaped by more than what happens during a doctor's appointment.
Many of the challenges people face, from accessing care and managing chronic conditions to finding education, support and preventive services, begin within the communities where they live and work.
That's why CHRISTUS Health partners with local organizations, schools, faith communities and community leaders to address health needs beyond our walls. Through community outreach, education programs, charitable services, screening initiatives and population health efforts, we work to improve health and expand access to care for the people we serve.
Because every community is different, our approach is guided by local needs. We invest in programs and partnerships that help remove barriers to care, strengthen community well-being and create healthier futures for individuals and families.
Whether it's helping improve access to care, supporting health education, investing in charitable programs or partnering with organizations that address local needs, our goal is the same: to help create healthier communities for generations to come.
Improving health means caring for people where they live, work, learn and gather. For CHRISTUS Health, serving communities is not separate from our mission. It is one of the primary ways we live it every day.
Recognized for excellence in care
Across CHRISTUS Health, our hospitals and programs have earned national recognition for quality, safety and clinical excellence. These honors include Magnet® recognition for nursing excellence, accreditations and certifications from The Joint Commission and specialty distinctions that reflect our commitment to delivering exceptional care and outcomes for the communities we serve.
Connected care centered on you
Healthcare is about more than treating illness. It is about helping you live a healthier life, supporting your family through important moments and providing trusted guidance when your health needs change.
At CHRISTUS Health, our mission, values and connected network of care come together to make healthcare more compassionate, coordinated and accessible. By connecting services, specialties and caregivers across our system, we help make it easier to get the care you need when and where you need it.
Because when you choose a health system, you're choosing more than a doctor, clinic or hospital. You're choosing a partner for your health journey and every step that follows.
