St. Dominic’s has been a trusted name in compassionate, faith-driven healthcare for generations. Now, as St. Dominic Health, the ministry is embracing a new name and look — one that reflects both its rich history and its future fully integrated as part of the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System.
“The transition to a new brand reflects not just a change in name but a commitment to growth, innovation, and excellence in service,” said E.J. Kuiper, president and CEO of FMOLHS. “By integrating the strengths of St. Dominic with the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, we are building a stronger foundation to continue delivering compassionate care to our communities, guided by our shared mission and values.”
St. Dominic Health’s logo now features the Tau, a cross symbol long associated with FMOLHS that represents the health system’s shared core values: service, reverence, and love for all of life, joyfulness of spirit, humility, and justice. More than just a symbol, the new logo is a powerful reminder of who St. Dominic’s is and the mission the health system serves together. While the name and logo have evolved, the unwavering commitment to excellent healthcare has not changed, and faith remains at the heart of the ministry’s work.
“This transition reflects continuity and change. The cross is still at the center of it all, and our foundation remains firmly rooted in faith and trust in God,” said Sister Karina Dickey, PhD, O.P., senior director of mission integration and formation for St. Dominic Health. “FMOLHS has proven to be the right partner at the right time. We had ties of friendship and professional relationships for years, and this has been a natural and fruitful evolution.”
The journey toward a unified health system has been years in the making, strengthening St. Dominic Health’s ability to serve central Mississippi. Now, as part of an integrated network, the ministry is positioned to expand its reach while continuing the healing mission that has always defined it.
“The joining of these ministries represents a continuation of a legacy of care and innovation, blending history with a shared vision for the future,” said Jeremy Tinnerello, president of St. Dominic Health. “This evolution is not just a change; it’s an opportunity to amplify the mission and carry it forward to places beyond what we ever imagined.”
Patients can continue to expect the same compassionate, high-quality care that has defined St. Dominic’s for decades. As St. Dominic Health moves forward, the ministry remains steadfast in its mission — to heal, to serve, and to bring hope to all who seek its care for generations to come.
