Mission Statement
The mission of Saint John's Health Center Foundation is to provide leadership and philanthropic support to Saint John’s Health Center and John Wayne Cancer Institute, that serve as catalysts for exceptional health care and research.
About This Cause
History When the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth came west to build Saint John’s, generous neighbors helped these pioneering women purchase the land upon which the Saint John’s Health Center campus stands. The Foundation grew out of the original Saint John’s Hospital Guild founded in 1947 to carry forward the mission of compassionate care set forth by the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth. That mission is continued now through the healing ministry of Providence. Today, the Saint John’s Health Center Foundation is a robust non-profit 501c3 charged with advancing exceptional health care and cancer research at Saint John’s Health Center and the John Wayne Cancer Institute by way of philanthropic efforts. Fundraising The Foundation is the chief financial engine contributing to state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, technology, programs and services at the Health Center as well as ground-breaking cancer research at the John Wayne Cancer Institute. Philanthropic efforts have successfully raised over $500 million dollars, including $225 million dollars to rebuild the Health Center after the 1994 earthquake. Current and upcoming campaigns include support for Saint John’s as the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Center (TAVR) for Providence Southern California and the development of the South Campus as a Westside health and wellness destination including a new site for the John Wayne Cancer Institute and the Child and Family Development Center, visitor housing and retail space. Board of trustees Saint John’s trustees are highly dedicated, successful individuals united in their desire to give back to the community. Their collaborative relationship with the Health Center’s board of directors, physicians, senior leaders and John Wayne Cancer Institute physicians and researchers are integral to the Foundation’s fundraising accomplishments.
