The Diocese of Rockville Centre's health care ministry, organized under CHS, is focused on bringing health and healing to the people it serves. Since at least 1907, Catholic health care on Long Island has built a distinguished tradition of operating community-based hospitals and human service organizations. These services have become widely valued for the high quality of their compassionate care for people from all walks of life and of every religious belief and ethnic group.

Honoring a tradition that delivers uncommon devotion to those in need, CHS is committed to providing care and understanding to every member of every community. From caregivers who bring hope to those who are alone, to distinguished physicians who understand that dignity is medicine for the soul, the system and its employees are proud to provide the kinds of programs and services that reflect the spirit of shared humanity. Within the CHS system, member organizations offer virtually every medical specialty and clinical service, and share a dedication to continually upgrading the scope, quality and accessibility of care. CHS has encouraged each of the member organizations embraced under its umbrella to retain its link to history, distinctive personality and service specialties that have positioned each member to serve its community effectively.
