“Carondelet Health Community Benefit Report For the year ended June 30, 2014 Ever since the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet began treating patients in a three-story house in downtown Kansas City, the emphasis has been compassion - compassionate care that encompasses the body, mind and spirit, with a special concern for the poor. It comes in the form of a smile and gentle touch behind the technology that reaches the lives of so many patients who grace our doors. It comes also in the form of financial assistance to uninsured patients at both St. Joseph and St. Mary's Medical Centers, regardless of their employment or credit history. Whether our patients need help applying for Medicaid assistance or just more time to settle their bills with an interest-free, extended-term payment plan, Carondelet Health will be that helping hand. Our mission inspires us to be a united community where we exceed the expectations of every individual with every interaction through unwavering advocacy. Educating the public about the challenges of those lacking health insurance include joining other organizations in Cover the Uninsured Week, along with outreach resource guides in English and Spanish. Our Mission Carondelet Health consists of Catholic organizations dedicated to the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. Our commitment to human dignity compels us to provide compassionate, quality healthcare for body, mind and spirit, with a special concern for the poor. We are responsible stewards serving the needs of all people from conception to death. We are united in this mission. Upholding the commitment of our founding Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet and the Sisters of St. Mary, we turn away no one in need. Compassionate, quality care remains the standard at all our facilities. Caring for Our Community Compassion goes beyond those financially challenged. It encompasses those who are vulnerable due to age and circumstance. Carondelet Health's facilities actively commit its resources to the communities they serve, through a wide variety of programs and services for the physical, mental, social and spiritual care of area residents: Healthy Beginnings The St. Joseph and St. Mary's Medical Center Foundations, with the support of local community agencies, make it possible to offer a unique prenatal program free of charge for patients who are on Medicaid, teens, or for others socially at risk, that could benefit from additional support.
