The mission of Catholic healthcare distinguishes our ministry organizations as agents of change in the communities we serve. The mission calls us to serve those in need and to transform the structures of injustice.” 90th Catholic Health Association Assembly.

Our mission statement, in co-sponsorship with all of the healthcare providers of the Sisters of St. Francis Health Services, is “Continuing Christ’s Ministry in our Franciscan Tradition.” For those who have chosen to work at Saint Anthony Memorial, it means that now, we must put these words into action and practice.

The Franciscan Values of the Healthcare Ministry of the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration form the foundation for putting our mission into actions and practice.

RESPECT FOR LIFE The gift of life is so valued that each person is cared for with such joy, respect, dignity, fairness and compassion that he or she is consciously aware of being loved.

FIDELITY TO OUR MISSION Loyalty to and pride in the healthcare facility are exemplified by members of the health care family through their joy and respect in empathetically ministering to patients, visitors and co-workers.

COMPASSIONATE CONCERN In openness and concern for the welfare of the patients, especially the aged, the poor and the disabled, the staff works with select associations and organizations to provide a continuum of care commensurate with the individual’s needs.

JOYFUL SERVICE The witness of Franciscan presence throughout the institution encompasses, but is not limited to, joyful availability, compassionate, respectful care and dynamic stewardship in the service of the Church.

CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP Christian stewardship is evident by just and fair allocation of human, spiritual, physical and financial resources in a manner respectful of the individual, responsive to the needs of society, and consistent with Church teachings.
Guided by the moral and ethical values and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, Saint Anthony Memorial serves the people of God in Christ’s healing ministry.
