      <ActivityOrMissionDescription>AS A CATHOLIC HEALTH MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH, ST. JOSEPH HEALTH SYSTEM'S MISSION IS TO "PROVIDE SPIRITUALLY CENTERED, HOLISTIC CARE WHICH SUSTAINS AND IMPROVES THE HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES." THIS INCLUDES ACTING AS ADVOCATES FOR A COMPASSIONATE AND JUST SOCIETY THROUGH OUR ACTIONS AND WORDS. A UNIVERSAL TENET OF CATHOLIC HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS' MISSION STATEMENTS IS CARE FOR ALL PERSONS, ESPECIALLY THE POOR AND VULNERABLE. THE CALL TO BRING GOD'S HEALING TO PERSONS IN NEED IS WHAT COMPELLED THE FOUNDERS OF VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS TO VENTURE OUT INTO PARTS OF THIS NATION THAT, UNTIL THEIR ARRIVAL, HAD BEEN SORELY UNDERSERVED. FOR MORE THAN 250 YEARS, (58 FOR ST.

        <Explanation>AS A CATHOLIC HEALTH MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH, ST. JOSEPH HEALTH SYSTEM'S MISSION IS TO "PROVIDE SPIRITUALLY CENTERED, HOLISTIC CARE WHICH SUSTAINS AND IMPROVES THE HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES." THIS INCLUDES ACTING AS ADVOCATES FOR A COMPASSIONATE AND JUST SOCIETY THROUGH OUR ACTIONS AND WORDS. A UNIVERSAL TENET OF CATHOLIC HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS' MISSION STATEMENTS IS CARE FOR ALL PERSONS, ESPECIALLY THE POOR AND VULNERABLE. THE CALL TO BRING GOD'S HEALING TO PERSONS IN NEED IS WHAT COMPELLED THE FOUNDERS OF VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS TO VENTURE OUT INTO PARTS OF THIS NATION THAT, UNTIL THEIR ARRIVAL, HAD BEEN SORELY UNDERSERVED. FOR MORE THAN 250 YEARS, (58 FOR ST. JOSEPH HEALTH SYSTEM) CATHOLIC HEALTH CARE IN THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY THAT SAME CALL AND HAS GROWN IN WAYS THAT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN IMAGINED.</Explanation>
