Beginning September 12, nearly all of the organization’s hospitals will change their names to Franciscan Health.
Franciscan Alliance will remain as the name of the parent organization. Twelve of Franciscan’s 14 hospitals will be renamed, as two of them, Franciscan Health Munster and Franciscan Health Rensselaer, are already under the new name.
The organization says the rebranding "reinforces and reflects an integrated and aligned approach" to healthcare.
"Unified names for each hospital will create broader awareness of our standing as a large, multistate Catholic healthcare system with nationally recognized centers of excellence, numerous joint ventures, partnerships and physician relationships," said Kevin Leahy, chief executive officer of Franciscan Alliance.
