Since 1998 when some of the assets from the sale of the St. Joseph Hospital were placed with the St. Joseph Community Health Foundation, the Foundation has primarily served the poor and underserved by funding high-quality programming that improves accessibility to health and wellness in Allen County, Indiana.
In its first ten years, the Foundation invested $8,915,458 in the community through 584 grants to more than 150 local agencies. The grants improve access to health care in programs with established records of delivering quality health, medical, dental and mental health care to low-income clients.
The St. Joseph Community Health Foundation, a ministry sponsored by the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ, exists to steward resources which strengthen, improve and sustain long-term community health in Allen County.
We invest in and collaborate with other community agencies to improve the physical, mental and spiritual health of the poor and the underserved.
