Our Mission 
 

In the spirit of our founders, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise de Marillac, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the Daughters of Charity Health System is committed to serving the sick and poor. With Jesus Christ as our model, we advance and strengthen the healing mission of the Catholic Church by providing comprehensive, excellent healthcare that is compassionate and attentive to the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. We promote healthy families, responsible stewardship of the environment, and a just society through value-based relationships and community-based collaboration.

Vincentian Values

The Charity of Christ urges us to:

Respect Recognizing our own value and the value of others
Compassionate Service Providing excellent care with gentleness and kindness
Simplicity Acting with integrity, clarity and honesty
Advocacy for the Poor Supporting those who lack resources for a healthy life and full human development
Inventiveness to Infinity Being continuously resourceful and creative


Embracing the realization of our mission and loyalty to the spirit and charism of St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise de Marillac, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, we will respond appropriately to the future challenges, namely, the integration of our core, care, and cost values, and the continuation of our growth as a Catholic healthcare facility. We will continue to strive to reflect our Vincentian Values — the spirit that makes us different!

Our mission, philosophy, and single most important reason for being Seton Medical Center, is caring for people. At Seton Medical Center, we take pride in offering a warm, caring, and nurturing environment because we believe Caring is Powerful Medicine. We have excellent physicians, nursing, technical and support personnel, and state-of-the-art equipment and facilities to do this job and do it well. We are committed to maintaining excellence and doing our best to create happier and healthier lives.
