St. Joseph’s Parent Changes Name to Dignity Health

Catholic Healthcare West, the parent organization of St. Joseph’s Hospital and two East Valley hospitals, announced Monday that it has ended governing ties with the Catholic Church and changed its name to Dignity Health as it embarks on plans to grow the organization.

San Francisco-based Dignity Health said the governing separation from the church will not impact the status of the 25 Catholic hospitals, including St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center and Mercy Gilbert. Chandler Regional Medical Center is among the health-care organization’s 15 non-Catholic hospitals.
