Our Primary Exempt Purpose

The purposes for which SSFHS is formed are:

• to continue the healing ministry of Christ in accordance with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and in partnership with others to provide a full continuum of health care services
• to carry on educational activities related to the promotion of health; to promote and carry on scientific research related to health care
• and to participate in any activity designed and conducted to promote the general health of those served by SSFHS.

The revenues of SSFHS allow for the operation of health care facilities where the purpose
is to respect life and to preserve health, as well as treat illness and injury.  This allows for
the accomplishment of the corporate ministry which has the following central concerns:

• compassion for those in need
• respect for life and the dignity of persons
• wellness and the prevention of illness
• restoration to health
• and the acceptance of death as the final step towards wholeness.
