Our Story

While the past year has necessitated many changes to ensure the health and safety of our patients, associates and community, our primary mission hasn’t wavered.

Generosity heals

The St. Anthony North Health Foundation knows first-hand that generosity heals. The gifts we receive from individuals, businesses, government and foundations provide lifesaving technology for our patients, vital community health services for underserved members of the community, and academic scholarships for healthcare professionals - just to name a few.

Our 2021 philanthropic priorities are focused on innovations in behavioral health and food insecurity; our health campus expansion and capital projects; continuing to support our legacy programs like the St. Anthony North Scholarship Program and our Forensic Nurse Examiner Program; and ensuring our caregivers’ emotional, mental and physical health remains a top priority as they continue to respond to the changing COVID-19 environment. Central to our mission, vision and values, our work will prioritize health access, equity and addressing the social determinants of health in our community.

The St. Anthony North Health Foundation is proud to release their 2020 community impact report, "Generosity Heals: Stories of Survival & Gratitude."
