	St. John Medical Center Foundation offers financial support for the operations and continued growth of St. John Health System. The Foundation solicits and receives grants, contributions, donations and gifts that help support, promote, advance and strengthen the work of the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother. We adhere to the highest ethical standards and operate in conformance with directives developed by the U.S. Catholic Church. St. John Medical Center Foundation conducts major capital campaigns every five to six years and a year-end community-wide fundraising appeal.
	
	The Foundation also receives proceeds from Takin&#39; It to the Street, a friend- and fundraising celebration held each June on the medical center campus. We conduct free estate planning seminars for the community each year and manage the physicians&#39; endowment fund, a private account that supports the continuing education of St. John employees. Gifts to St. John Medical Center Foundation have enabled the medical center to expand existing services and add vitally important new programs.
	
	Recently, St. John used Foundation funds to renovate the pediatric intensive care unit and purchase new life-saving equipment for children and infants. The hospital also built a kidney dialysis center in an underserved section of town and expanded its pre-admission testing lab. By donating to St. John Medical Center Foundation, you could help save someone&#39;s life.
