What Bon Secours does

Bon Secours is a nonprofit Catholic health system founded in 1983 and inspired by the Sisters of Bon Secours tradition, operating 20+ hospitals and medical centers across three primary regional markets: Richmond and Hampton Roads in Virginia, and Greenville in South Carolina. The system delivers a full continuum of care including acute inpatient services, primary care, urgent care, emergency care, and specialty service lines spanning cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, neurology, OB/GYN, behavioral health, bariatrics, maternity, imaging, and rehabilitation. Community outreach is delivered through the Care-A-Van mobile clinic program and community health services in Baltimore, Greenville, Hampton Roads, and Richmond. The organization employs 10,000+ people with corporate governance under Ohio law and a principal office in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The core technology platform is Epic's MyChart patient portal, which Bon Secours has deployed for online scheduling, secure video visits (telehealth), bill payment, and medical record access across its Virginia and South Carolina footprint. Supporting integrations include Solv Health for urgent care bill processing and FindJoo for class/event registration. The system maintains sub-brands including MyChart, Bon Secours Blog (health education content), Care-A-Van (mobile clinics), and Harness Health Pharmacy (in-house pharmacy). No proprietary AI/ML systems, patents, or differentiated technology assets are evidenced.

Revenue is generated through patient care services billed to insurance carriers, Medicare, and Medicaid, with self-pay and financial assistance programs serving uninsured patients. The nonprofit status enables community benefit programs and tax-advantaged operations. The system serves a horizontal patient population distributed across its regional markets with no disclosed enterprise customer concentration, and reimbursement relationships span multiple Medicare Advantage plans and commercial insurers.
