Saint Joseph Hospital is a 433-bed facility located in Lexington, Kentucky. Founded in 1877 by a small group of Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in Kentucky led by Sister Euphrasia Stafford, their mission was to provide compassionate care to the poor and underserved – a tradition still carried out today. Saint Joseph Hospital primarily serves central and eastern Kentucky with a full range of services, including distinguished awards for cardiology, orthopedics, and stroke care. CHI Saint Joseph Health supports 5,000 active employees, 8 hospitals, specialty clinics, and a Medical Group with more than 200 locations across Central and Eastern KY. CommonSpirit Health was formed by the alignment of Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) and Dignity Health in 2019. With our combined resources, CommonSpirit is committed to building healthy communities, advocating for those who are poor and vulnerable, and innovating how and where healing can happen both inside our hospitals and out in the community.
