Houston-based St. Luke’s Health, a CommonSpirit Health member, will begin using the CommonSpirit name in October, and is expanding its collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine to improve patient access.
“St. Luke’s Health has been home to some of the most impactful advances in healthcare, thanks in large part to our collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine,” Augusto “Gus” Sepulveda, MD, chief medical officer of the Houston market of CommonSpirit, said in an Aug. 17 system news release shared with Becker’s. “This expanded relationship and the introduction of the CommonSpirit name represents an evolution.”
