About Us

St. Luke's was established through the 1966 consolidation of Lutheran and Methodist hospitals; it traces its roots back to 1884 when Sioux City's first hospital, Samaritan Hospital, was opened. Originally a single, acute care hospital, St. Luke's has now evolved into a health system with a complete staff of quality healthcare professionals, including experienced doctors. Located in Sioux City, Iowa, St. Luke's serves the tri-state region of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota; and is governed by a local board of directors. 

St. Luke's Health System encompasses the full-service hospital; a clinic network of family medicine, occupational medicine, outpatient rehab and other specialties; home health care; an outpatient imaging center; a college for nursing and health sciences and a charitable giving foundation.
