FACILITY
St.Vincent's Medical Center
St. Vincent's HeathCare is a faith-based, not-for-profit health system that has been serving the people of Jacksonville and the surrounding communities for more than 87 years. St. Vincent's is widely recognized for excellence in patient care. From delivering healthy, happy babies to helping elders through their final years with dignity, St. Vincent's offer a continuum of care that is unsurpassed in North Florida. St. Vincent's can do that because our physicians and staff are experts who take pride in living the mission of caring for the sick and poor. St. Vincent's currently offers the area's top cardiology and oncology programs. In 2003, St. Vincent's was recognized as one of the top Heart programs in the U.S., and the highest ranking program in Florida by U.S.News & World Report magazine. See more on this recognition here. While dedicated to serving all, St. Vincent's places special emphasis on helping the poor and less fortunate. St. Vincent's award-winning outreach ministries go far beyond the medical center in caring for the community through programs such as the Mobile Health Outreach Ministry, Parish Nurse Ministry, School Nurse Program, Seton Center for Women and Infants and more. Our mission is based in strong traditions of faith. Founded by the Daughters of Charity in 1916, St. Vincent's is now part of Ascension Health, which was formed in 1999 when the Daughters merged their healthcare ministry with the Sisters of St. Joseph Health System. St. Vincent's Mission and Values form the framework of our commitment to patient care.
