Saint John's Health Center Foundation

Saint John's Health Center Foundation We provide leadership and philanthropic support to Providence Saint John’s Health Center.

Incorporated in 1975 as a separate tax-exempt 501(c)(3) corporation to advance the mission and goals of the Health Center, the Saint John’s Heath Center Foundation is governed by an all volunteer board of directors and trustees, who bring their leadership skills to ensure that Saint John’s Health Center is here for their community – now and in the future. Trustees work tirelessly with the Foundation staff to vision, plan, initiate and maintain structured programs of support for the Health Center’s capital, equipment, programmatic needs, community outreach and to carry forward the Health Center’s mission of compassionate care. When the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth came west to build Saint John’s, generous neighbors helped these pioneering women purchase the land upon which Saint John’s Health Center campus stands. The Foundation grew out of the original Saint John’s Hospital Guild founded in 1947 to carry forward the mission of compassionate care set forth by the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth. That mission is continued now through the healing ministry of Providence Health & Services. The Foundation is the chief financial engine contributing to state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, technology, programs and services at the Health Center as well as ground-breaking cancer research at the John Wayne Cancer Institute.

This past October, Breast Cancer Awareness at was more than pink lights — it was a movement of hope and generosity.

Thanks to our incredible partner Erewhon, the celebration didn’t stop at lighting the health center pink. Erewhon also led a month-long donation round-up across all store locations, raising more than $65,000 for the Margie Petersen Breast Center at Providence Saint John’s Health Center.

This gift will help us advance early detection, innovative treatment and compassionate care for patients and families facing breast cancer. Every dollar brings hope and healing to those who need it most, and reflects the power of collaboration and the generosity of Erewhon customers.

Thank you, Erewhon, for standing with us in the fight against breast cancer. Together, we’re making a difference.
