Catholic Health

Catholic Health is an integrated system encompassing some of the region’s finest health and human services agencies. The health system has approximately 16,000 employees, six acute care hospitals, three nursing homes, a home health service, hospice and a network of physician practices.

Under the sponsorship of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, Catholic Health serves hundreds of thousands of Long Islanders each year, providing care that extends from the beginning of life to helping people live their final years in comfort, grace and dignity.

Catholic Health is a community of healing and compassion that joyfully embraces the healing ministry of Christ. In communion with the mission of mercy of the Catholic Church, it is the mission of Catholic Health Services to provide a robust pastoral care presence. Pastoral care completes the comprehensive care provided in our integrated health care system. The professional care of the human spirit ensures that God’s eternal love and boundless grace is always present to help bear the burdens of illness. Diocesan Healthcare Chaplain Listing
