Sisters Of Charity Of Leavenworth Health System

Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Health System, doing business as SCL Health System, is a tax-exempt nonprofit health care system that acts as a subrecipient on federal grants and holds no prime federal contracts. The organization is headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado, and operates primarily through eight named hospital and foundation subsidiaries, including Saint Joseph Hospital, St. Vincent Healthcare, Holy Rosary Healthcare, St. Mary's Hospital & Medical Center, St. James Healthcare, Providence Medical Center, and Saint John Hospital.

SCL Health System's federal footprint is overwhelmingly grant-based and sub-recipient in structure. Of 33 total federal awards in the source data spanning from 2008 through May 2026, 27 (82%) are grant sub-awards; only 6 (18%) are prime grants. The organization serves four distinct federal agencies, but concentration is extreme: the Federal Emergency Management Agency accounts for 26 of 33 awards (88% by count). The remaining work is scattered across the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons North Central Regional Office, the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration, and the National Cancer Institute. Combined potential value across all awards is $22,000, but combined dollars obligated across all awards totals $24.7 million — indicating that obligated spending substantially exceeds stated potential value on individual sub-awards, a signature of grant reimbursement-based work where invoiced expenditures drive obligation volumes.

Recent activity shows a concentration in emergency-response and pandemic-related sub-grants. Between November 2023 and July 2024, SCL Health System received ten sub-awards from the Montana Department of Military Affairs for Emergency Protective Measures grants (FEMA funding) covering PPE procurement, construction labor, medical supplies, and facility conversion at named facilities including St. Vincent Hospital, St. James DPC, and St. Catherine Hospital. A May 2026 sub-award from Montana Department of Military Affairs covers management costs; a May 2025 sub-award from Oregon Health & Science University funds SWOG Network Group Operations Center participation under the National Clinical Trials Network. The category concentration reflects hospital operations: General Medical and Surgical Hospitals (NAICS) and Reference Laboratory Testing (PSC) appear as the top coding categories. Activity peaked in 2024 with eight awards before declining to one award in 2025 and one in 2026, suggesting the emergency-response grant period has subsided.

SCL Health System does not compete as a prime on federal contracts or IDVs, does not hold seat on GWACs or GSA Schedules, and has no teaming relationship with federal prime contractors in the source data. The organization's federal engagement is confined to sub-recipient roles on healthcare-related grants, primarily disaster-response and clinical-trial funding channeled through state and university prime recipients.
