About Benedictine Health System

Benedictine Health System was established in 1985 by the Benedictine Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery in Duluth, Minnesota. It originated with three Minnesota entities and allowed for separate incorporation and increased governance for its member institutions, while the Sisters retained reserve powers over mission and property.

Benedictine is a nonprofit, faith-based organization sponsored by the Benedictine Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery. It is independent, with senior care operations remaining after hospitals previously part of Benedictine merged into SMDC and Essentia Health.

Benedictine operates more than 30 senior living communities across five Midwest states, making it one of the largest independent Catholic senior care organizations in the U.S., with a footprint that includes approximately 23 to 26 nursing facilities.

The organization provides a full continuum of senior care services: independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and home health services.

Benedictine emerged from the Sisters’ early healthcare missions and has evolved into a mission-driven senior care provider, with a structure supporting community-focused care and responsive governance.
