St. Luke’s Health announced Monday that beginning in October 2026 hospitals and care sites across the East Texas market will begin using the CommonSpirit Health name. The new facility names will reflect their shared identity as part of CommonSpirit Health while honoring St. Luke’s trusted legacy in the community.
This change will not affect the care patients receive, their physicians or nurses, or the services available at any location.
New community hospital names include:
St. Luke’s has been part of CommonSpirit since 2019. By formally adopting the CommonSpirit name, St. Luke’s 5,200 team members, including 1,440 nurses, and 250 physicians across eight hospitals and 85 care sites will more clearly reflect their connection to the national health system. CommonSpirit is one of the nation’s largest faith-based, nonprofit health care organizations, serving communities across 24 states.
“Our new name reflects the strength of our connection to CommonSpirit, while honoring St. Luke”s legacy of trust within our East Texas communities,” Market President Monte Bostwick said. “As we introduce these new names, we want those we serve to know that what matters most is not changing. Our commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality care
close to home remains as strong as ever, and we look forward to continuing to serve East Texas for generations to come.”
Patients and community members will start to be introduced to the new names through the Becoming CommonSpirit advertising campaign, which will highlight the organization’s unification and continued commitment to compassionate, high-quality care for the community.
Combining the words “Common Good” and “Holy Spirit,” the CommonSpirit name was derived from scripture: “Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good,” 1 Corinthians 12:7 (NIV). The name reflects the shared values of the hospitals and health systems that formed CommonSpirit in 2019, including St. Luke’s.
In the coming months, patients and community members will begin to see the CommonSpirit name and logo appear throughout the East Texas market. While the signs and names will change, the same dedicated care teams will continue serving these communities with the compassion and clinical excellence patients have long known and trusted.
