About Us | Beacon Health System
It's our people and communities that make us strong.
What we are is who you make us.
Locally owned, not-for-profit
What makes a connection meaningful? At Beacon Health System, it’s our unwavering commitment to the health of the people we care for and the wellbeing of the community you call home. We are a locally owned, not-for-profit health system with medical teams and hospitals caring for our neighbors right here in Indiana and Michigan.

Headquartered in South Bend, Indiana, with dozens of specialized partners and over 8,100 associates
throughout the region, Beacon connects you with the care you and your family need to be your very best.
That takes expertise. We are the regional leader in comprehensive, integrated services — from
childbirth
and
pediatrics
to
cancer
,
trauma
,
heart and vascular, stroke
,
orthopedics
and
sports medicine
,
surgery
,
mental health
and so much more.
That also takes empathy. We
lead with our hearts to make sure yours keeps beating — providing the best care, the best experience to each and every person. That is our calling. That is why we love what we do.
Beacon Health System includes multiple hospitals in Indiana — Beacon Children’s Hospital, Beacon Granger Hospital, Community Hospital of Bremen, Elkhart General Hospital, Epworth Hospital, and Memorial Hospital of South Bend; and in Michigan — Three Rivers Hospital, Beacon Kalamazoo, Beacon Dowagiac, Beacon Allegan and Beacon Plainwell.

By the Numbers
Beacon Health System provides care to more than 4,000 patients each day in northern Indiana and southern Michigan. As a not-for-profit, community-governed health system, we target an annual operating income of 4% from our operations. This operating income balances the healthcare needs of the community with the ability to reinvest in the facilities, equipment and talented clinical providers. The accumulated earnings are managed through an investment committee of our volunteer Board and guided by an investment policy which the committee approves and monitors. This is done to obtain financial returns that are then directed back into the organization and community to improve the overall health of the communities we serve and to ensure long-term viability of healthcare for the region.

What Makes Us Tick?
Every day, we get to impact a community member’s life—in small ways like sharing comforting words with a worried family member, and in large ways like saving an injured child. Each moment is an opportunity for us to impact another life. And another. And another.
