Our purpose begins with a commitment to health equity. We believe everyone deserves a fair opportunity to live a long, healthy life – where one’s race, ethnicity, gender, income, sexual orientation, neighborhood, or other social conditions should not affect their health outcomes.
We recognize that these factors collectively play a more significant role in achieving health equity than medical care alone. We’re dedicated to ensuring that every resident achieves excellent health.
Our strategy and goals serve as our guiding focus in addressing the social determinants of health.
We uphold a commitment to closing health equity gaps by investing in key community partnerships, advocating for equitable health policies, and maintaining high performance standards in our operations.
We strive to support organizations dedicated to education, financial stability, safe housing and stability, social connection, healthy eating and living, and neighborhoods around Saint Luke.
We invest in efforts to advance equitable policies and practices that reduce the unfair treatment and disparate impact of institutions, and systems on marginalized groups.
We embody our values through outcome-focused grantmaking, strategic partnerships, qualitative and quantitative evaluations, and by operating with integrity and excellence.
The Saint Luke’s Foundation is dedicated to partnering with communities and organizations to
address systemic barriers, unlocking opportunities, and advocating for justice for all.
