2. Our Mission:
As expressions of God’s healing love, witnessed through the ministry of Jesus, we are steadfast in serving all, especially those who are poor and vulnerable.
Our Mission
This is our mission statement, which was shaped by the input of 60,000 caregivers across the Providence St. Joseph Health system – including persons who serve on our hospital boards. Please pause for a moment to let it sink in…
Our Mission has not changed in 2000 years. Our founding Sisters are quick to say that they did not “invent” this Mission; rather, they were modeling their inclusive, compassionate care after the healing example of Jesus’s ministry. The words we use to describe this Mission change periodically to remain relevant to the times in which we live and serve.

3. Health for a Better World
Our Vision:
Health for a Better World
Our vision tells us what we want to accomplish. If we live our mission faithfully, health for a better world will be one of the fruits of our work.
Does this vision connect with your own hopes and vision for your own work? Why did you choose the work you did?
How can health lead to a better world? What does health contribute to peace, reconciliation, human flourishing, care for creation, etc.?

4. Organizational Tithing to Support Community Benefit
St. Joseph Health “tithes” to support community benefit. 10% of the net operating income is reinvested into the community to support wellness and improved quality of life. A quarter of the funds are distributed from the health system level through the philanthropic foundation called the Community Partnership Fund, and the remainder come back to our ministry.
Do you want to mention anything about 1.5% commitment, or A.G. spending requirements?
