About Ascension & the Ascension Foundation
Ascension is a faith-based healthcare organization dedicated to transformation through innovation across the continuum of care. Rooted in the loving ministry of Jesus as healer, the Ascension team is committed to serving all persons with special attention to those who are poor and vulnerable. The Ascension Catholic health ministry is dedicated to spiritually centered, holistic care which sustains and improves the health of individuals and communities. We are advocates for a compassionate and just society through our actions and our words.
Inspired by Catholic tradition, the Ascension Foundation works to address the non-medical needs that have outsized effects on the health of individuals and communities. Informed by data and in partnership with nonprofit organizations that deeply understand local needs, we advance innovative solutions with the potential for long-term, life-changing impact.
