Orange-based hospital operator St. Joseph Health System is now known as St. Joseph Health.
The company said that it dropped “system” from its formal name in order to reflect its broader focus, including its medical groups, outpatient services and other programs besides its hospitals.
St. Joseph Health owns St. Joseph Hospital-Orange, St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton and Mission Hospital, which has campuses in Mission Viejo and Laguna Beach, three of the county’s largest hospitals by net patient revenue.
