Alexian Brothers Hospital Network is committed to advancing medicine by developing new ways to treat disease through clinical trials. Clinical trials are research programs conducted with human volunteers to evaluate a new medical treatment, drug or device. Alexian Brothers is currently engaged in over 120 such clinical trials. Those who participate in clinical trials are often the first ones to receive an investigational drug or gain access to new treatments before they are widely available. By participation, you also contribute to our growing body of medical knowledge.
HISTORY The Congregation of Alexian Brothers is a lay, apostolic, Catholic Order whose Brothers, bound together by religious vows, dedicate themselves primarily to live in community and to the ministry of healing in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church. For almost 800 years, the Alexian Brothers have cared for the sick, the aged, the poor and the dying. The basic Judeo-Christian beliefs that inspired the founders of this Catholic religious congregation sustain its ministry today. This heritage is espoused by the governance, management and entire health care team throughout Alexian Brothers Health System in their mutual commitment to promote the physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being of all individuals served through the health care ministry.
MISSION Alexian Brothers Hosptial Network carries out the healing mission of the Catholic Church through the Alexian Brothers ministries by identifying and developing effective responses to the health and housing needs of those we are called to serve.
The health care provided here is the outward sign of the Alexian Brothers' enduring vision, holistic perspective, and sensitivity to the dignity of every person, advantaged and disadvantaged. It is care illuminated by the teachings of Christ and His church.
We deliver health care in partnership with those who would share our ministry. Only with and through the community can we fully and faithfully serve those who come from the community to find healing and blessing.
