Ministry Leadership Center

The Ministry Leadership Center is inspired and guided by the Catholic identity and tradition of the women religious who founded the Catholic health care ministry in the United States and today sponsor a global network of health and social services. The Center was established eight years ago to implement a senior management formation program for five California-based, Catholic health care systems, namely, Dignity Health, Daughters of Charity Health System, Providence Health & Services, Sisters of Charity Health System, and St. Joseph Health System; it has since expanded to include PeaceHealth. Our mission is straightforward: “Grounded in the Catholic identity and tradition of its sponsors, the Ministry Leadership Center forms leaders to sustain and deepen the ministry of healing.” The Ministry Leadership Center’s hallmark activity is a twelve-session, residential leadership formation program that takes place over a three-year period
