"We will reaffirm our common mission of healing and discern and support creative ways
of meeting the needs of the poor, women, children and minorities."
-- 1995 Vision Statement

Hospitals have been the focus of the Hospital Sisters ministries but do not be surprised to meet one of them in a grocery store shopping for a food pantry or teaching religious education to a child. Some Sisters continue to work in the hospitals; others volunteer or work in other health and social services fields.

The foundation of the Hospital Sisters is built on bringing a healing spirit to humankind wherever needed. This spirit shows itself in many ways from a simple caring gesture to the establishment rural clinics and working with AIDS patients.
