About Union Health

Union Health has a rich heritage that dates back to August 6, 1896, when Mr. C. W. Williams made a generous bequest of $3,900 to the Board of Directors. This contribution enabled the establishment of what would become Union Hospital, serving as the community hospital for the Wabash Valley. Over the years, Union Health has grown and evolved, becoming a cornerstone of healthcare in the region, dedicated to delivering high-quality medical care to our communities.

As an independent, not-for-profit health system, Union Health is the largest employer in the Wabash Valley and an award-winning integrated healthcare provider. Founded in 2009, it includes Union Hospital, Union Hospital Clinton, and Union Medical Group. With a longstanding commitment of over 125 years to the health needs of residents in West Central Indiana and East Central Illinois, Union Health offers a full spectrum of career opportunities across the continuum of care.
