The Benefis name was derived using Latin root words: Bene- meaning good, and fis- for faith and trust. It’s these same root words that make up such terms as ‘be
neficial’ and ‘confidence'. Benefis has been a trusted provider of care for more than 125 years. And our name speaks to our commitment: good care one can put faith in.
