Healthcare Foundation

The Sisters of St. Joseph Healthcare Foundation is a non-profit, public benefit corporation, which addresses the needs of the working and indigent poor in:

Southern California
San Francisco Bay Area
Humboldt County
Fresno County

The Sisters of St. Joseph Healthcare Foundation funds programs which directly serve the needs of the underserved, especially families and children at risk. The Foundation sponsors or supports long-term efforts which are closely identified with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange and their mission of bringing unity and healing where divisiveness and oppression exist. We support the concept of “Healthy Communities,” and desire to fund programs and organizations that:

Provide direct health-related services;
Support and transform the individual, social, economic, institutional, and cultural aspects of communities;
Provide change within larger societal systems to benefit low-income and at-risk populations;
And develop the leadership and capacity for self-determination of those served by our funding.
