HistoryThe roots of the Benedictine Health System can be traced by to the late 1880's when the Benedictine Sisters of St. Joseph, Minn., established a new Duluth Benedictine community. From there, the Benedictine Sisters went on to launch a health care ministry that built hospitals across northern Minnesota and sponsored new facilities in other area communities. In 1985, the Benedictine Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery knew they needed to create a lay organization to continue their growing health care ministry, thus Benedictine Health System was formed. Today, the Mission of the Sisters is carried out in dozens of communities across the upper Midwest.SpecialtiesThe Benedictine Health System is one of the largest Catholic senior care organizations in the country with more than 40 senior care communities in six states: Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Missouri, South Dakota and Illinois. A mission-based, non-profit health system headquartered in Minnesota, the Benedictine Health System provides complete long-term care services for aging adults, including independent housing, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, short-term rehab and outpatient rehabilitation services.
