MISSION
mis•sion: noun, Bringing you and your loved ones quality healthcare that restores, preserves and
promotes physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
Making a Difference. Saint Mary’s believes in taking many programs directly to
you, rather than expecting you to always come to us. Our Take Care-A-Vans bring
healthcare to local communities in need. Our dental vans provide care to local children
at their schools. Through community partnerships with the Kids to Seniors Korner
Program and the Ronald McDonald House Charities Care Mobile®, our medical vans
provide immunizations and health services to needy children. It can mean the difference
between being healthy and being at risk.
Serving Your Neighborhood. We provide care at our community health centers and
welcome those who experience difficulty getting the treatment they need because of
economic, cultural or language barriers. You can obtain basic and preventive healthcare
close to home at the Nell J. Redfield Health Centers in Sun Valley and on Neil Road.
Respecting Your Spirituality. Your spiritual needs are an important part of you. Our
staff and volunteer chaplains provide emotional and spiritual support for you and your
family. We’re here to bring you comfort when you’re most vulnerable, with respect for
your personal beliefs.

Saint Mary's, defining healthcare.
|
Saint Mary's began our legacy of caring for the health of our community almost a century ago when the Dominican
Sisters of San Rafael opened Sisters' Hospital. Over the years, Saint Mary's has grown into a nationally
recognized, multi-facility healthcare network. As we continue to grow, our commitment to provide care for
those who are poor, underserved and vulnerable remains strong and true. Our Mission Outreach programs -
including Mobile Medical and Dental Outreach, Parish Nursing and Youth Outreach - respond to the health and
spiritual needs of the most vulnerable members of our community.
As the only faith-based healthcare organization in the region, we have a unique opportunity to reach out to our
community in special ways. In meeting these needs, Saint Mary's has developed a philosophy of taking many
programs and services out to the people, rather than expecting them to come to us. By reaching people where
they live, work, learn and worship, we are making measurable differences in the lives of thousands of community
members.
