You deserve to know how your community hospital rates in the quality of care it provides. Every year our organization tackles five to seven areas of care we know we can improve on from the year before. We publicly share these quality results to include our community in our dedication to clinical excellence. The results, and our transparency around them, provide the information you need to make informed care decisions. We want to be the best because we know you deserve it. We believe through collaborative work, we can achieve meaningful results. We believe in sharing best practices throughout our organization as well as learning from the best in our country. With the increasing complexities of healthcare delivery, Health Services Corporation needed a board structure change. SCL/HSC made changes to create a shared governance of the system by laypersons, including representatives of other healthcare systems, along with members of the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth. The first combined lay and religious Health Services Corporation Board was appointed in 1994. In 2000, the Corporation changed its name to the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Health System. In 2011, the sisters transferred sponsorship of SCL Health to Leaven Ministries, a new entity (public juridic person) recognized by the Catholic Church. As they are available, the sisters remain involved on Boards of Directors and on staffs of the hospitals, clinics and system services. Our organization’s rich heritage and enduring legacy serve as the foundation for our health ministry today, and our mission, vision and values serve as the framework for our success.
