St. Luke’s Hospitals In Lufkin, Livingston, San Augustine Rebrand Under CommonSpirit Title

St. Luke's Hospital locations in East Texas will soon be taking new names. It's not a major name change, but it will reflect a change that took place in 2019. That's when the St. Luke's family of hospitals in the Pineywoods became part of the CommonSpirit group. Beginning in October 2026, the new community hospital names will include:
● CommonSpirit - St. Luke's Hospital - Lufkin
● CommonSpirit - St. Luke's Hospital - Livingston
● CommonSpirit - St. Luke's Hospital - San Augustine

What is CommonSpirit?

CommonSpirit is one of the nation’s largest faith-based, nonprofit health care organizations, serving communities across 24 states. St. Luke's 5,200 team members include over 1400 nurses and 250 physicians across eight hospitals and 85 care sites. Combining the words “Common Good” and “Holy Spirit,” the CommonSpirit name was derived from scripture: “Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good,” 1 Corinthians 12:7 (NIV).

Why The Name Change?

According to Market President Monte Bostwick, the new name will reflect the strength of the CommonSpirit brand while honoring St. Luke's legacy of trust in East Texas communities. This change will not affect the care patients receive, their physicians or nurses, or the services available at any location. Patients and community members will start to be introduced to the new names through the Becoming CommonSpirit advertising campaign, which will highlight the organization’s unification and continued commitment to compassionate, high-quality care for the community.
