Description

Our Mission The mission of Ardent and Lovelace Health System is to be a premier provider of health care services, delivered with compassion for patients and their families, respect for employees, physicians and other health professionals, accountability for our fiscal and ethical performance, and responsibility to the communities we serve. Our History Lovelace Health System was created in 2003 when Ardent Health Services of Nashville, Tenn., purchased the former St. Joseph Healthcare System and Lovelace Health Systems.St. Joseph was founded at the turn of the century by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, Ohio. Intent on meeting the needs of the fledgling community 50 miles south of bustling Santa Fe, the Sisters made it their mission to treat the poor and underserved, with special provision made for the care of tuberculosis patients. In 1901, the irrepressible Sister Hyacinth came to Albuquerque to oversee the construction of a hospital - the city's first that would serve the community. One year later the Sisters opened the St. Joseph Sanitarium to minister to the growing ranks of tuberculosis patients seeking the high, dry air of Albuquerque for "The Cure".
