SMP Health – St. Aloisius has been providing Catholic healthcare to Harvey, ND since 1938. We focus on care for the elderly and poor in view of Jesus Christ’s teachings.

We are part of the SMP Health network of hospitals, nursing homes, and home care, all sponsored by the Sisters of Mary of the Presentation.

We provide skilled and compassionate healthcare services (hospital and clinic), mental health services, and home-like independent senior living at our St. Aloisius Apartments.

An appropriate understanding of the mission of SMP Health and its ministries requires that we continually acknowledge our source in the Sisters of Mary of the Presentation. Their sponsorship is never to be overlooked and we perpetuate this relationship in our logo as well as in the name of our organization.

SMP Health – St. Aloisius is a ministry of SMP Health. The abbreviation “SMP” pertains to the Sisters of Mary of the Presentation. The organization’s “official” name is the “Sisters of Mary of the Presentation Health System.”

Our ministry logo for the SMP Health – St. Aloisius incorporates the emblem of the Sister of Mary of the Presentation to identify and perpetuate the Sisters as the source of our ministry, its mission, history and identity.

The Emblem of the Sisters of Mary of the Presentation

In 1982 the General Chapter of the Sisters of Mary of the Presentation agreed to this oval symbol as a common community symbol to indicate membership in the Congregation.

The symbolism is explained by the Sisters as follows: 

The Cross represents Jesus Christ our Savior.
The M represents Mary whose daughters we are.
The Oval signifies the Church and our Congregation.
The Cross is rooted in the earth where our lives and ministry take place.

1. The oval emblem of the Sisters
2. The name “SMP Health”
