Removing Names Of Saints From Hospitals

From the Indianapolis Business Journal:

One of the largest Catholic hospital systems in the Midwest is saying farewell to saints’ names at 12 of its hospital campuses in Indiana and Illinois.

In a move to create a stronger identity, Franciscan Alliance will become Franciscan Health, and will stop using the names of St. Francis, St. James, St. Anthony and other familiar saints at its hospitals, the company announced Tuesday.

That means that Franciscan St. Francis Health in Indianapolis will be known simply as Franciscan Health Indianapolis, and Franciscan St. Francis Health in Carmel will be known simply as Franciscan Health Carmel.
