Good Help. Good Health.
Mission Statement
The Mission of the
Bon Secours Health System is to bring compassion to health care and to be good help to those in need, especially those who are poor and dying. As a system of caregivers we commit ourselves to help bring people and communities to health and wholeness as part of the healing ministry of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church.


At Bon Secours, we continue a tradition of care for the sick and poor that began in Paris in 1824 with the founding of the Sisters of Bon Secours. In 1881, the Sisters arrived in the United States and gradually built a national ministry that includes us to this day.

Bon Secours, which means “good help” in French, lives through our hospitals and medical facilities. Good help also lives in our physicians, nurses and staff, who are recognized leaders in providing unparalleled care.

Bon Secours Virginia is proud to be the fourth largest and only faith-based health system in Virginia, comprised of Bon Secours in Richmond and Bon Secours in Hampton Roads. Bon Secours Virginia includes seven award-winning hospitals: four in Richmond (St. Mary's Hospital, Memorial Regional Medical Center, Richmond Community Hospital and St. Francis Medical Center) and three in Hampton Roads (DePaul Medical Center, Mary Immaculate Hospital and Maryview Medical Center).

Bon Secours brings together a network of hospitals, primary care practices, ambulatory care sites and continuing care facilities to provide exceptional, compassionate health care services to thousands of Virginians. The not-for-profit Catholic health system employs nearly 11,000 people.
