St. Catherine Hospital has provided compassionate high quality care to the city of East Chicago and neighboring communities for nearly a century. Dedicated in April 1928, St. Catherine Hospital opened its doors through a successful partnership between the Manufacturers Association of East Chicago and the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ. The hospital became part of Community Healthcare System in 2001, Northwest Indiana’s largest integrated healthcare system.

St. Catherine Hospital has a unique history of many medical firsts in technology, treatments and diagnostic care. Those early first include a school of X-ray technology, full-time School of Nursing, polio care, open heart procedures, cancer registry, sleep disorder center and urology center. More recently, CyberKnife® and superDimension Navigation System are giving patients advanced options in cancer care.

This expertise has gained St. Catherine Hospital notable recognition, earning a five star rating for overall quality of patient care from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Hospital Compare website, an achievement shared with only 102 other hospitals across the United States. Other distinctions include Joint Commission advanced certification in Diabetes Care and accreditation as a Primary Stroke Center, American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines Silver Plus and Target: Stroke Elite Honor Roll Awards and as an Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Association Blue Distinction Center in Cardiac Care.

Today, St. Catherine Hospital continues to invest in the patient care experience, combining advanced technologies and innovations to remain on the forefront of research, diagnostics and therapeutic care. Specialties include a wide range of outstanding healthcare service areas from acute, cardiac and cardiovascular care and behavioral health to diagnostic imaging, interventional radiology and radiation therapy.
