A History of Excellence A Future of Possibilities

In 1937, the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth and civic leaders in Tyler, Texas joined together to establish Mother Frances Hospital, and began serving the medical needs of the citizens of our area. With great foresight and in support of the hospital’s healing mission, “to enhance community health through service with compassion, excellence and efficiency,” this joint venture has had a monumental impact on the health of East Texans. Through that same founding spirit of excellence and service, and the generous investment of donors like you each year, your community hospital has grown to now serve more than 1 million people in our expanded region.

A committee composed of Founders Society members will determine the allocation of funds each year. Take this opportunity to become a leader, to be a part of our mission to improve the health and well being of our community, and assist us in providing the most advanced level of care available to you and your loved ones. Join the Founders Society today.
