About Us

The Catholic Health System brings together the strengths and talents of more than 8,200 full and part-time associates and 1,200 physicians under one health care ministry that stretches across all areas of Western New York.

One of the fundamental reasons for the creation of the Catholic Health System and its member organizations was to ensure that the health care needs of the community are met in keeping with the mission, vision, and values of our religious sponsors. Our ongoing efforts to provide the community with easy access to a wide range of high quality health care services is enhanced by our deep reverence for life.
