We have experienced the integration of St. Vincent’s and Ascension as well as the transition in Foundation leadership and new team members. Throughout these new beginnings we honor our past, we are proud of our present, and we are looking forward to the future. We are very proud of the progress in supporting the pillars of our work including capital improvements and expansion, new technology, and outreach programs serving the most vulnerable in the community. These pillars allow us to serve new and emerging needs with modern facilities and advanced technologies, while paying special attention to the poor and vulnerable through community health ministries. As Saint Vincent de Paul said, “charity is the cement which binds communities to God and people to one another.” We are blessed to have been able to provide the multitude of health ministries in the community. These ministries include Mobile Health Outreach Ministry, Kids Together Against Cancer, Bright Beginnings, Medical Mission at Home, Good Samaritan Fund, Momentum, Reach Out and Read, School Nurse Program, and Faith Community Nursing. Despite all of these successes, there is still great need in our community and more work to be done to meet these needs. We will continue and grow our efforts to provide resources for this invaluable work. We cannot do this important work alone. We are eternally thankful for the dedicated volunteers and generous donors who share our passion for this work and help us make a difference in the lives of so many in the community.

About Our Logo 3 OUR PRESENT OUR FUTURE... 1999 The Daughters of Charity’s Mission had grown to numerous health ministries across the United States, including St. Vincent’s. They joined other like-minded sisters to create a jointly sponsored Catholic health system that would provide maximized national advocacy, with each health ministry continuing its important locally-driven work. Our historical sponsors chose the name Ascension because it references when Jesus ascends to heaven and places his healing ministry into the hands of the community, sending them forth to be vessels and instruments of transformation. Our Future In 2018, we made the important decision to integrate the name Ascension into our name: Ascension St. Vincent’s. We made this change to honor the Daughters of Charity who founded us over 100 years ago and the Daughters of Charity who formed Ascension to serve our local needs of the future. Ascension understands the importance of our philanthropic dollars staying in our community and values the work these resources allow us to provide for our community. Ascension also allocates funds locally for capital construction, provides healthcare advocacy, and shares clinical best practices. We are still your Catholic, community based, non- profit hospital. We honor the Mission of serving the poor that the Daughters of Charity began in our community so many years ago.

Mr. Shircliff helped transform Jacksonville with his servant leadership and tireless philanthropic work spanning more than a half-century. He made a remarkable difference that will last for generations to come. Mr. Shircliff loved Ascension St. Vincent’s and was part of our family. It is why the street leading into our Riverside hospital is named after him and our primary address is “1 Shircliff Way,” recognizing his special way of getting things done. It is also why we established the Shircliff Society, which engages and inspires emerging leaders to become advocates for a compassionate and just society, just like Mr. Shircliff. Mr. Shircliff is noted as saying his idea of a perfect day was doing something for someone without expecting anything in return. May we all strive to live by his example and work to carry out his legacy for decades to come. 5 Mission Rooted in the loving ministry of Jesus as healer, we commit ourselves to serving all persons, with special attention to those who are poor and vulnerable. Our Catholic health ministry is dedicated to spiritually-centered holistic care, which sustains and improves the health of individuals and communities. We are advocates for a compassionate and just society through our actions and our words. Vision We envision a strong, vibrant Catholic health ministry in the United States which will lead to the transformation of healthcare. We will ensure service that is committed to health and well-being for our communities and that responds to the needs of individuals throughout the life cycle. We will expand the role of laity, in both leadership and sponsorship, to ensure a Catholic health ministry in the future.
