Ascension St. Vincent  Provides Assistance To Ukraine
In the weeks since the Russian attacks on the people of Ukraine, Ascension ministries have joined to show solidarity and support for the victims.
Ascension St. Vincent, part of the national healthcare ministry of Ascension, is joining Ascension Global mission in making financial contributions to assist the people of Ukraine. Ascension is also donating medical supplies through its long-standing, ongoing relationship with MedSurplus Alliance. MedSurplus alliance is an accredited Medical Supply Recovery Organization and will distribute supplies to established and trusted partners in Ukraine to help serve those most vulnerable.
It has long been one of Ascension St. Vincent’s mission values to serve the poor and needy, and we are blessed with the resources, connections, and means to help in times of need. Ascension is partnering with reputable charities including Daughters of Charity International Project Services and Catholic Relief Services to reach the people of Ukraine. Ascension also launched an internal webpage for its associates to join in a prayer for peace in Ukraine with the Catholic Health Association of the United States.
