Our Heritage

The Sisters of Charity, through their sponsorship of health care facilities, participate in the Mission of the Catholic Church in the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, who reached out to all in need, especially those who live in poverty. Following their example, the Sisters of Charity provide leadership in health care services in an atmosphere of Christian concern in an environment that reflects the teaching of Christ.
