Behavioral Health
Whether you know it or not, someone in your world is struggling. Mental health and addiction challenges affect one out of every five people, yet only a third seek treatment. When help is needed, Ascension St. Vincent’s is there. Our goal is to provide a comfortable, therapeutic environment to meet the needs of adult and geriatric patients experiencing behavioral health issues. Improve the quality of life for vulnerable patients by making a donation today.
Cancer
Your kindness and generosity are greatly needed to support Ascension St. Vincent’s cancer patients and fund vital services. Through your gift, you are providing mammograms, medication, lodging, and transportation for the uninsured and underinsured. You are also helping purchase life-changing and life-saving equipment and technology. Your gift sustains these efforts, and we could not do it without you. Make a donation today to help conquer cancer.
Cardiology
Ascension St. Vincent’s is a respected regional provider of cardiology and heart surgery care. Our success is due to our talented physicians and dedicated care teams who utilize cutting-edge treatments and therapies. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., claiming millions of lives each year. That’s why so many donors have joined us in seeking better solutions for today and tomorrow. Make a gift in the fight against heart disease.
Orthopedic
Ascension St. Vincent’s is a national leader in Orthopedic and Sports Medicine. We are committed to providing quality, evidence-based orthopedic care to the community. Philanthropic support is critical for advancing care and ensuring patients have access to the most advanced treatment options. Together, we can transform lives, now and for years to come. Donate today.
Women and Children
Ascension St. Vincent’s improves the lives of the women we serve through personalized, integrated care that encompasses prevention, wellness, and treatment. Women and children both have unique health care needs. Safely welcoming a baby into the world is one of the most important moments in a family’s life. As a trusted health partner, we offer advanced treatments, specially trained physicians, and a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Make a gift today to impact women and children tomorrow.

Patient Assistance
Dealing with an illness or injury is challenging enough. The purpose of our Care of the Poor Fund is to provide vulnerable patients currently in treatment at Ascension St. Vincent’s with emergency financial assistance. Your gift will directly transform their lives. Make a donation to support our patients.
Associate Assistance
Established in 1989, the St. Louise Associate Assistance Fund has helped countless Ascension St. Vincent’s associates avoid eviction or foreclosure, keep their lights on, feed their families, and meet other unexpected, urgent needs. This fund was instrumental in helping our dedicated caregivers during the pandemic. If you are grateful for the care you received, we invite you to turn your appreciation into action by making a donation to honor a doctor, nurse, staff member, or volunteer who impacted your life.

Jeremiah's Hope
Since 2003 Jeremiah’s Hope has graduated hundreds of medical assistants, patient care technicians, sterile processing technicians, administrative medical assistants, and phlebotomists. In 2020, these certification courses were transitioned to Jefferson State Community College, expanding Jeremiah’s Hope to four locations and enabling more flexible hours for students. Ascension St. Vincent’s Foundation provides scholarships and support materials for these students.
“God has a plan for everybody, but sometimes that plan needs a little facilitation. There are not enough healthcare personnel to fill all the jobs available locally. Giving to Jeremiah’s Hope is a privilege, because it can help make a lasting impact on someone else’s life,” said supporter Cathy Adams. “This is the most joyful donation we make.”
