GREENVILLE — A longtime business in Greenville has changed names after Springfield-based Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS) assumed management of Greenville Regional Hospital and renamed it HSHS Holy Family Hospital.
“The Hospital Sisters of St. Francis have a long history of answering the call to serve,” said Mary Starmann-Harrison, president and CEO of HSHS. “Bringing our health care ministry to Greenville and having the local hospital join our family continues that tradition.”
Founded in 1960 as Edward A Utlaut Memorial Hospital, HSHS Holy Family Hospital is a not-for-profit 42-bed, full-service facility for residents of Bond and surrounding counties. It becomes HSHS’ 14th hospital and will be part of its Southern Illinois division working in partnership with HSHS Medical Group and Prairie Cardiovascular across downstate Illinois.
“By joining Hospital Sisters Health System, we are creating the foundation upon which we will continue our mission of providing high quality health care close to home, well into the future,” said Brian Nall, chief operating officer, HSHS Holy Family Hospital.
In March 2015, the hospital and HSHS signed a letter of intent to begin the process of affiliation to continue and enhance the delivery of high quality, convenient health care services. Now, as an affiliate of HSHS and its Southern Illinois Division, it adopts the HSHS mission “to reveal and embody Christ’s healing love for all people through our high-quality Franciscan health care ministry.”
“The high quality care that patients have been accustomed to for more than 50 years in the Greenville community remains,” said Jeff Mollet, chairman, HSHS Holy Family Board of Directors.
The HSHS Holy Family Hospital name was chosen after receiving input from community members and also reflects the multiple faith background of the Greenville community.
