Deaconess
Deaconess was founded in 1892 by a group of Protestant ministers and laymen
who felt called to care for the sick. More than 130 years later, Deaconess
Health System continues to provide high-quality health care with a compassionate
spirit, just as our founders envisioned. Deaconess Health System is the
premier provider of health care services to 51 counties in three states
(IN, IL, and KY). The system consists of 18 wholly owned, joint ventured,
sponsored or affiliated hospitals located in southern Indiana, southeastern
Illinois and western Kentucky.
