Saint Joseph Health Facilities to become CommonSpirit.

LEXINGTON, Ky., (July 24, 2026) — The hospitals connected to CHI Saint Joseph Health will celebrate with caregivers across Kentucky as they move into a new era as CommonSpirit on July 27 in Lexington and London, and July 28 in Bardstown, Berea, Mount Sterling and Nicholasville.

Each facility will hold a special blessing and recommitment ceremony starting at 10 a.m. This celebration marks a years-long integration of the Kentucky ministry into CommonSpirit. While Saint Joseph Health has been a part of CommonSpirit since the national ministry’s creation in 2019, the Kentucky hospitals, clinics and offices are now fully embracing the brand, incorporating CommonSpirit into the naming and signage.
