To support its health care ministry, CHRISTUS Health employs approximately 30,000 Associates and has more than 9,000 physicians on medical staffs throughout its system.

Northeast Texas Region
The CHRISTUS network across Northeast Texas aims to ensure that the ever-growing health care needs of East Texas are met through increased resources and innovative services. The region includes Trinity Mother Frances Health System (Tyler and surrounding areas), St. Michael Health System (Texarkana), and Good Shepherd Health System (Longview and Marshall). The region includes over 580 physicians and providers representing 36 specialties across 63 locations. Total revenue for the region was approximately $1.5 billion in 2016.
CHRISTUS’ Northeast Texas region has experienced significant growth, most recently with the acquisition of Good Shepherd Health System in early 2017, and before that via the merger with Trinity Mother Frances in the spring of 2016.
Trinity Mother Frances, which includes eight hospitals in Tyler and surrounding counties, was an early adopter of the integrated delivery model and dyad pairings of administrators with physicians; today, just under half of admissions there come through employed physicians. The system’s longstanding emphasis on physician leadership has created a culture of patient-centricity and a strong focus on quality, values which CHRISTUS shares and plans to emphasize throughout the growing system.
