Community Outreach

This report illustrates the significant degree to which Saint Thomas Hospital contributes to the positive health status of the communities it serves.  As a member of Ascension Health, the nation’s largest Catholic healthcare system, Saint Thomas Hospital continues to build and strengthen sustainable collaborative efforts that benefit the health of individuals, families, and society as a whole.  The goal of Saint Thomas Hospital is to perpetuate the healing mission of the church.  Saint Thomas furthers this goal through delivery of patient services, care to the elderly, indigent, and impoverished persons/families, patient education and health awareness programs for the community, and medical research.  Our concern for the human life and dignity of all persons leads the organization to provide medical services to all people in the community without regard to the patient’s race, creed, national origin, economic status, or ability to pay.  In order to portray the full breadth of our contribution, our community benefit information is described in the report below.
