Many hospitals in our network will continue the legacy of faith-based healthcare.
Note: Data reflects information from our most current annual report to the community.
Catholic healthcare is guided by seven core commitments:
Every human person reflects the image of God and has inherent worth. We are called to respect, protect, love, and serve every human life.
Each person is a unity of body, mind, and spirit. As a community of healing and compassion, the care offered is not limited to the treatment of disease or bodily ailment but embraces the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of the human person.
We give particular attention to the health care needs of the poor, the uninsured, the underinsured, and those on the margins of society. We advocate and work towards a health care delivery system that provides adequate health care for the poor.
Catholic healthcare services are meant for the entire community. The common good recognizes that our well-being is integrally tied to the well-being of other people, our community, and the environment.
Acting on behalf of justice is about ensuring that everyone has what he or she needs to flourish. A just health care system works to promote equity of care, advancing access to basic health care for individuals and improving the health of communities.
A Catholic healthcare ministry exercises responsible stewardship of available healthcare resources. We are called to be innovative with our finite resources so that those resources can best serve our communities.
Following in the legacy and tradition of the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, our Catholic care sites continue the healing ministry of Jesus. As a ministry of the Catholic Church, the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERDs) help us navigate the health care decisions we make in very complex circumstances.
Jacob Harrison serves as the Chief Catholic Mission Officer for Intermountain Health.

He honors the legacy of the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth and partners with Leaven Ministries, the Ministerial Juridic Person over our Catholic entities, to uphold the Catholic identity and Catholic health ministry within the organization’s Catholic entities.
As the senior leader for the Mission Integration team, Jacob and his team support leaders and caregivers in connecting to the meaning and purpose in their work. They support clinical ethics, ministry formation, mission integration, spiritual care, alignment with Community Health, and ongoing relationship support with the Catholic Church.
