For Our Community


Community Benefit at St. Joseph’s Health

A comprehensive approach to health care includes addressing social factors that influence patient outcomes. St. Joseph’s health is committed to partnering with organizations that are actively involved in meeting the needs of underserved community members within Central New York.

Rooted in our legacy, the St. Joseph’s Health mission to heal body, mind and spirit remains a constant. The patients we serve, the families we help and the lives we touch daily are changed forever by the dedication and compassion of our colleagues.

Community Outreach

Beyond our walls, our healing ministry contributes to the health and well-being of thousands of individuals. As members of the communities we serve, we support numerous causes and programs that allow us to educate, counsel, partner, volunteer and train – offering assistance both in dollars and in time and energy of our colleagues, physicians and volunteers. Our passion and vitality extend to civic, religious and social entities in the community, as well as thousands of underserved, uninsured and homeless individuals.
