2025 -2027 Strategic Plan

Throughout our history, Catholic health care has been guided by the tradition of our founding congregations to carry forth the healing ministry of Jesus. Today, we continue to be graced by and called to that same innovative spirit of our Catholic Sisters, Brothers, Clergy, and Laypersons. This apostolic heritage has guided Catholic Health Care’s commitment to human dignity and the common good and impels us to care for the whole person from conception to natural death. Through our loving God, we are intrinsically connected with one another and all of creation.

We, the Catholic Health Association, are compelled to ensure access to care for all so everyone has opportunities to reach their full potential. We know that business as usual is no longer acceptable or sustainable. We envision a reimagined health ecosystem in which health care is not a commodity but a human right integral to a just society and a strong, healthy national community. Our Strategic Plan creates the groundwork for our commitment to fostering human flourishing by uniting our members and all people of goodwill to prioritize the dignity of each person and the common good.
