Power of Partnership Campaign Update

A Milestone for the Power of Partnership Campaign

The Saint John’s Health Center Foundation’s Power of Partnership Campaign, a three-year endeavor to raise $200 million for Providence Saint John’s Health Center, Saint John’s Cancer Institute and Pacific Neuroscience Institute, has surpassed yet another milestone. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, campaign committee members, trustees, physicians, nurses and hospital administration, we’ve raised $205 million in just over two years—an all-time campaign record for the foundation. Another record-breaking success was the $92 million raised in 2020—the most the foundation has ever raised in a single year since its inception in 1974.

These monumental successes were achieved despite the unprecedented challenges generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, the pandemic has proved beyond a doubt that Saint John’s track record of compassionate care, clinical excellence and leadingedge research is needed now more than ever in prevailing against a health crisis of this magnitude.

It is through this campaign that we rallied community support to ensure our health center and its institutes continue the trajectory of excellence

and progress, while launching a new vision led by the health center board of directors and Michael Ricks, chief executive of Providence Saint John’s Health Center, to grow our campus into a robust, academic institute model for the future. But this important work isn’t finished.

With four months remaining in the Power of Partnership Campaign, we’re committed to staying the course and shattering more fundraising records. We are called upon by our community to serve their growing health care needs now and into the future.
