Saint John's Health Center Foundation (SJHCF) has been providing philanthropic support to Providence Saint John's Health Center for nearly 50 years. Since its inception, SJHCF has generated more than a $1 billion in revenues to support innovative and compassionate patient care at Saint John's.
SJHCF is at an exciting moment in its history. In 2021, the organization completed the $213 million Power of Partnership – the most successful fundraising campaign in the Foundation's history. Looking forward, the board of SJHCF seeks to continue its momentum by diversifying philanthropic income sources and expanding revenue. To affect these improvements, a new Foundation President and CEO was hired earlier this year and has since begun expanding the team to provide the manpower needed to lead the Foundation into a new era of increased and diversified levels of philanthropic support.
