OUR PRIMARY ACTIVITIES FOCUS ON DEVELOPING, RECOGNIZING, MANAGING AND DISTRIBUTING CHARITABLE GIFT SUPPORT TO BENEFIT THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THESE AREAS. PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR THE VULNERABLE, DISADVANTAGED AND THOSE WITH LIMITED RESOURCES IS ALSO A MAJOR CONCERN OF THE FOUNDATION. IN 2013, THE FOUNDATION CONTRIBUTED OVER $600,000 IN SUPPORT OF ST MARY'S HEALTH CENTER. SOME OF THE PROGRAMS AND ENHANCEMENTS SUPPORTED BY THE FOUNDATION IN 2013 INCLUDED: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS - DURING 2013, THE FOUNDATION COMPLETED $1,358,000 FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ST MARY'S HEALTH CENTER FACILITIES.

THE POPULATION SERVED BY THIS PROGRAM IS THE UNDERSERVED AND UNINSURED POPULATION RESIDING IN THE GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS OF THE CITY OF ST LOUIS, ST LOUIS COUNTY AND RURAL MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS.
