The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet have joined with the Benedictine Health System of Duluth, Minn., to co-sponsor the sisters’ Nazareth Living Center in South County.

Nazareth offers skilled nursing and assisted living care on an 11-acre, 272-bed residential campus. The co-sponsorship agreement became effective July 1. The Sisters of St. Joseph will continue their Catholic sponsorship of Nazareth.

“This co-sponsorship allows Nazareth Living Center the opportunity to offer a continued quality of care while exploring ways to provide enhanced services to the community in the future,” said Sister Suzanne Wesley, a member of the sisters’ province leadership.

As part of the co-sponsorship agreement, Benedictine Health System is responsible for the management of McGovern Hall, the facility’s skilled nursing unit, and Gleason Hall, the assisted living unit.

The Benedictine Health System is sponsored by the Benedictine Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery in Duluth and currently owns or manages more than 60 health care facilities in seven states.
