Mother Maria Theresia Bonzel founded the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration in 1863 in Olpe, Germany. Drawn to the ideals of St. Francis, Mother Theresia cared for poor and neglected children and for persons in need of healthcare. In 1875, she sent sisters to Indiana where the mission grew to include hospitals, schools, orphanages and homes for the aged. St. Elizabeth Hospital (now St. Elizabeth Central) in Lafayette was the first facility founded by the sisters in America. In 1931 the sisters divided into eastern and western provinces, the eastern centered at Mishawaka, Indiana. In 1974, the sisters of the eastern province incorporated their healthcare ministry under the name of the Sisters of St. Francis Health Services, Inc. All related healthcare activities were consolidated into this corporation with a separate board and management staff. In 1986, the corporate offices were moved to their current location on the provincialate grounds in Mishawaka. In November 2010, Sisters of St. Francis Health Services, Inc., changed its name to Franciscan Alliance.[citation needed] Facilities Healthcare facilities Franciscan St. Anthony Health Crown Point — Crown Point, Indiana (founded 1974) Michigan City — Michigan City, Indiana (founded 1903) Franciscan St. Elizabeth Health Lafayette Central — Lafayette, Indiana (founded 1875) Lafayette East — Lafayette, Indiana (founded 2010) Crawfordsville — Crawfordsville, Indiana (founded 1902) Franciscan St. Francis Health Indianapolis Campus — Indianapolis, Indiana (founded 1995) Carmel Campus — Carmel, Indiana (founded 2012) Mooresville Campus — Mooresville, Indiana (founded 1881) Franciscan St. James Health Chicago Heights Campus — Chicago Heights, Illinois (founded 1911) Olympia Fields Campus — Olympia Fields, Illinois (founded 1978) Franciscan St. Margaret Health Hammond Campus — Hammond, Indiana (founded 1898) Dyer Campus — Dyer, Indiana (founded 1898) Franciscan Healthcare - Munster — Munster, Indiana (founded 1994) Corporate Office The corporate office for Franciscan Alliance, Inc. is located at: 1515 Dragoon Trail Mishawaka, Indiana 46544 Support facilities Franciscan Alliance Information Services, Beech Grove, Indiana Tonn & Blank Construction, Michigan City, Indiana Franciscan Alliance, formerly Sisters of St. Francis Health Services, Inc., is a hospital system serving Indiana and parts of Illinois.
