St. Joseph Health System (SJHS) is an integrated health care delivery system providing a broad range of medical services. The system is organized into three regions -- Northern Californa, Southern California, and West Texas/Eastern New Mexico -- and consists of 14 acute care hospitals, as well as home health agencies, hospice care, outpatient services, skilled nursing facilities, community clinics and physician organizations. SJHS has established a "continuum of care" -- that is, a system that links and coordinates an entire spectrum of health services.
