Caritas Christi Health Care was a non-profit Roman Catholic healthcare system in the New England region of the United States. It was established in 1985 and was the second largest healthcare system in New England. In 2010, Caritas Christi was sold to the private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management which converted it to a for-profit company and renamed it Steward Health Care System. Cain Brothers acted as Caritas Christi's advisor for this transaction and received Deal of the Year honors from Investment Dealer's Digest due to their work on the deal.
