ASCENSION FOUNDATION ST. VINCENT IN SUPPORT OF JUSTICE AND PEACE

A Message from Sister Jane McConnell, OSF, Director of Mission Integration, Ascension St. Vincent Evansville: As we serve together in our communities and in our healthcare ministry, we promote and embrace the foundational principles of our Mission, our Value of Reverence for all people, our Catholic Social Teaching principles of Respect for the Dignity of all Human Life and Solidarity with Persons who are most vulnerable among us.  We pray for peace, understanding, and mutual respect among all people in our communities and in our nation. We take a firm stand against racism and pray for God’s peace, reconciliation, and justice for all people who are struggling and impacted at this time.

iPads Allow Patients and Families to Virtually Connect

Because of YOUR generous support to our Caregivers Response Fund, iPads were purchased to virtually connect patients with family members that are not able to visit face-to-face due to visitor restrictions or other limitations.

Thanks to your generosity, these stories took place:

Each patient and their family members expressed heartfelt thanks for these moments that so often are taken for granted.

A special thank you to our Ascension St. Vincent Evansville Spiritual Care and Ascension IS departments who have been instrumental in assisting with this project.

Double the Impact with Corporate Matching – Check with Your Employer

Did you know many local businesses offer corporate matching programs? A matching gift is a charitable donation by a corporation that matches an employee’s donation to an eligible nonprofit organization,such as Ascension St. Vincent Evansville Foundation, most often dollar-for-dollar. Some companies even double, triple, or quadruple donations! Please check with your employer to see if they offer a corporate matching program.

The following is a list of several companies offering matching programs.
