** About St. Francis Hospital & Health Centers **
When it comes to expertise in a large number of medical specialties, people in Indianapolis know their hospitals are more than up to the task for open heart surgery and balloon angioplasty, to neurosurgery and neonatal intensive care.

We provide quality care and services with a high level of compassion our patients have come to expect, with a special concern for the health needs of the poor and disadvantaged.
Yet, if experience has taught us anything, it's that you never rest on your laurels. You never stop improving. The leaders, physicians and employees at St. Francis are always looking for ways to improve our care through the latest technology, new procedures, better medicines and new medical findings. At St. Francis, we're always finding ways to get better, so our patients can, too.

History Of St Francis Hosp & Hlth Ctrs
** History of St. Francis **
In 1914, the Order of the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration founded a hospital in Beech Grove, Ind. With just 75 patient beds, the hospital was founded on the belief that human needs should be met in a holistic manner—a philosophy that continues to guide the development and operation today of St. Francis Hospital & Health Centers.
As one of the largest health care systems in Indiana, St. Francis operates three main facilities in Beech Grove, Indianapolis and Mooresville. Additional outpatient facilities are located in the Indianapolis metropolitan area.
St. Francis is part of a network of 13 growing hospital campuses in Indiana and Illinois owned and operated by the Sisters of St. Francis Health Services, Inc.
With the latest medical advances and state-of-the-art facilities, St. Francis continues to be a leader in local health services. St. Francis is the only teaching hospital in Indiana to receive the HealthGrades Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence™ three years in a row and is ranked among the top 5 percent of all hospitals in the country for overall clinical performance.
