Hospital Sisters Health System maintains a number of shared service programs which are coordinated through its Corporate Office, located adjacent to the St. Francis Convent in Springfield, Illinois.

The Corporate Office acts as the unifying element between all System Affiliates. The primary function of the Corporate Office is to provide leadership for on-going System development, long-range planning, and the implementation of the System’s mission and philosophy. The supportive services offered by the Corporate Office staff insure both the effective operation of each hospital and the unified strength of the total System.

The ability to share innovative ideas and approaches to the provision of health care services and sharing the administrative expense of many specialized programs are sound business reasons for working as a System. Through membership in the System, HSHS hospitals gain not only a collective strength, but in many cases, an individual advantage. From the viewpoint of mission, it presents an opportunity to keep a common orientation and focus and to gain inspiration from one another.
