One month from today, St. Vincent Charity Medical Center kicks off its yearlong 150th anniversary at our signature gala, Pizzazz! If you haven't already sponsored a table, check out our opportunities here. Individual tickets are also available here.

Proceeds from our biennial fundraiser support the healing mission of St Vincent Charity Medical Center. Impoverished, sick and vulnerable people count on St. Vincent Charity Medical Center for life-transforming services every day. Our mission is to serve as an extension of the healing ministry of Jesus. Your support of our mission will heal individuals, families and communities.

St Vincent Charity Medical Center has been caring for Clevelanders for nearly 150 years regardless of ability to pay. In 2012, St. Vincent Charity Medical Center provided $9.2 million in community benefit through:

• Free and discounted care to those unable to afford health care
• Care to low-income beneficiaries of Medicaid and other indigent care programs
• Services designed to improve community health and increase access to health care

St. Vincent Charity Medical Center prides itself on combining clinical excellence with human compassion for all our patients. Our size gives us the freedom to provide that personal care at a lower cost. But our resources are stretched, particularly at a time when so many individuals are in need of care. Your support can make a tremendous difference in our ability to fulfill our mission.

Thank you for your interest in our work. With your help, we will carry on our faith-based legacy of high quality, compassionate care for all of God’s people for another 150 years.
