St Vincent's Health System is a family of five hospitals in the Birmingham area owned by Ascension Health, a national non-profit Catholic hospital network based in St Louis, Missouri.

In July 2007, St Vincent's merged with Eastern Health System. Eastern's three hospitals were re-named with a St Vincent's moniker.

In July 2008, the system's president and CEO of 32 years, Curtis James, announced his retirement, effective January 1, 2009. Executive vice president and COO Neeysa Biddle served as interim CEO. John O'Neil, former president and CEO of Lourdes Hospital in Binghamton, New York, took over as CEO of St Vincent's Health System in March 2009.

In June 2009 the system moved its corporate offices from space it was subleasing at the Galleria Tower to newly-available office spaces on its hospital campuses.
