Sacred Heart Foundation

The filing organization is a part of the ascension catholic health ministry. Ascension is a faith-based healthcare organization that delivers personalized, compassionate care to all, especially to those who need it the most. Philanthropy is at the Heart of ascension Sacred Heart. Over 100 years ago, our healthcare system started through philanthropy, and philanthropy continues to drive us forward. When you give to ascension Sacred Heart Foundation, 100% of your generosity helps us advance programs, services, and leading-edge technologies for our patients, their families and the communities we serve. While there are many ways to make an impact, we have three priorities across northwest Florida. Donors are helping ensure studer family children's hospital, the region's only children's hospital located in pensacola, fl, is here for every child in their time of need. The new studer family children's hospital opened in 2019 with 121 hospital beds, offering a wide range of services to meet all of a child's medical needs, from a pediatric emergency room and neonatal intensive care unit to pediatric intensive care, cancer treatment and rehabilitation, and a medical staff of more than 120 board-certified pediatric doctors across 30 specialties. Since opening, we have grown to include the new bear family Foundation pediatric oncology center for hope and a fully dedicated pediatric operating room and recovery suite. Each day, 150 children enter our doors for care with 53% of our patients being un-or-under-insured. At ascension Sacred Heart emerald coast, located in miramar beach, fl, donors are bringing the latest in diagnostic imaging to okaloosa and walton counties. For the baby in the nicu having seizures; the man showing signs of a stroke; the critically injured child who may have fractured bones; the young woman with intermittent chest pain; and the family finding out if their loved one's cancer treatment is working, our donors are helping provide each of these patients with timely, compassionate care. At ascension Sacred Heart gulf, located in port st. joe, fl, donors are helping construct an all-new women's diagnostic center with the latest technology, 3d mammography. We know 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime. Mammography is the best tool to screen and diagnose breast cancer with early detection improving treatment options and survival rates. With donor support, no woman in our community is denied access to the life-saving technology she needs for early detection and timely treatment of breast cancer. Donor support is vital in ensuring that our patients receive the best care possible. By donating to ascension Sacred Heart Foundation, you are directly impacting the lives of children in need, providing essential healthcare services to underserved populations, and bringing advanced diagnostic capabilities to our community. Together, we can make a difference and continue the legacy of philanthropy that has driven ascension Sacred Heart for over a century.
