St. Joseph’s Foundation raises funds to support Dignity Health St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, which has been serving the Phoenix community since it was founded in 1895 by the Sisters of Mercy. Following the mission established by the Sisters 126 years ago, the hospital is committed to delivering affordable health services to all who seek it; serving and advocating for the poor and disenfranchised; and improving the quality of life for those in our community through excellent medical care and cutting-edge research.
