Sylvania Franciscan Health

The healthcare ministry of the Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania, Ohio, began in 1918 and significantly expanded in the mid 1970’s. Continued growth and increasing complexity in the healthcare industry prompted a reorganization. In 1984, Sylvania Franciscan Health (SFH) was created and became the formal expression of the sponsored health and human services ministry of the Sylvania Franciscans.

SFH member organizations are located in Ohio, Texas, and Kentucky, and include six hospitals, seven long-term care facilities, four assisted living facilities, independent senior housing, a counseling center, and a long-term shelter for victims of domestic violence.
