A simple, yet powerful emblem, the Tau honors our past and embraces our future, reflecting our mission and values.
A Symbol of Faith and Service
The Tau cross has deep roots in the Franciscan tradition, first used by St. Francis of Assisi as a symbol of humility and service.
Since the 1990s, it has represented the core values central to our health system’s identity, values that continue to guide us as we care for communities across the regions we serve.
A Modern Reflection of Our Mission
While the Tau has long been part of our health system’s visual identity, St. Dominic Health now fully embraces it to reflect our shared heritage. The clean, balanced design of the Tau is not only a symbol of our past but also a modern representation of our mission for the future.
The logo’s proportions, combined with its simplicity, invite a sense of peace and trust in the care we provide. The four quadrants of the symbol represent our values — reverence and love for all of life, joyfulness of spirit, humility and justice — with the central figure embodying our fifth value: service.
A Reminder of Our Purpose
The Tau is much more than a logo; it is a daily reminder of the principles that drive us in our work. Whether we’re providing care in hospitals, clinics or other health settings, we are committed to the same values that have guided us for generations.
The Tau represents our enduring commitment to excellence in healthcare, while reminding us that we are always here to serve with compassion and integrity.
A Shared Legacy, A Stronger Future
The Tau is more than a visual identity; it is a symbol of unity that honors our legacy and strengthens our ability to meet the evolving needs of the communities we serve.
Since 1911, the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady have provided compassionate, faith-driven care throughout Louisiana. In 2019, St. Dominic’s became part of this growing health system, joining forces to create a vibrant, future-focused ministry.
Now as St. Dominic Health, our ministry in Jackson, Mississippi, embraces the future while remaining rooted in our shared heritage. The Tau unites our facilities, team members and communities we are privileged to serve, reflecting our ongoing commitment to delivering excellence and compassion in care.
Our Healing Ministry Continues
Our health system is more connected than ever, with access to shared knowledge, resources, and expertise. We are better equipped to serve patients and families across our regions.
The Tau is a reflection of our mission, guiding our continued growth and transformation as we work together to provide exceptional care. The healing ministry that has defined our past will continue to inspire our future, uniting us in service and ensuring we remain a trusted source of compassionate care for years to come.
