For more than 90 years, the Sisters of St. Francis have upheld the sanctity of human life and addressed human needs in a holistic manner.
Each patient that comes through our doors is given comprehensive medical treatment and caring compassion regardless of their financial position. The Sisters, physicians and employees of St. Francis Hospital believe so strongly in this philosophy that Care for the Underserved is one of our core values. The Foundation helps to support a ministry which not only restores and preserves health, but also nurtures and comforts patients and their loved ones with compassion, providing medical, emotional, and spiritual care in Central Indiana and around the world.
Care for the Underserved Services and Programs include:
- The St. Francis Food Pantry helps patients, visitors, employees and those seeking help from the community. The pantries are stocked from donations given by employees throughout the year.
- The Patient Pharmaceutical Fund enables the Foundation to assist patients with filling medical prescriptions that they would otherwise be unable to obtain.
- The St. Francis Physician Mission Endowment assists individuals wishing to use their healthcare skills to assist some of the world's neediest people through local and international medical outreach.
Mission Moment: Every family wants to be able to sit down to a Chrismas dinner with friends and loved ones. With the help of St. Francis, more than 70 families are able to do that each year.
Through a partnership with the employees of St. Francis, St. Francis Auxiliary, St. Francis Food Pantry and Alverno Information Services, the Gift-a-Family Program came to life. Every December, baskets are filled with food for community families in need. Hospital employees provide gifts and hand-deliver the baskets to the numerous families in time for their holiday dinner.
