Benefis Health System came about when two Christian-based hospitals became one. Our founders'​ believed in providing good care to all in need, and trusted that this would be accomplished. The Benefis name was derived using Latin root words: "Bene-"​ meaning good, and "fis-"​ for faith and trust. It's these same root words that make up such terms as ‘beneficial' and ‘confidence'. Benefis has been a trusted provider of care for more than 100 years. And our name speaks to our commitment: good care one can put faith in. Benefis is consistently ranked among America's top hospitals by the nation's leading healthcare ratings organizations, including being rated as one of the 150 Great Places to Work in Healthcare!
