Telling Our Community Benefit Story: Non-Financial Summary of Accomplishments In addition to the financial investments made by Providence Mission Hospital, there are non-quantifiable benefits that are provided by the organization. Going out into the community and being of service to those in need is part of the tradition of our founders and is carried out by our staff and physicians every day. Community Participation: Our leaders serve on the Boards of Directors of many non-profit organizations, including Camino Health Center, Friendship Shelter, Family Assistance Ministries, and the Boys & Girls Club of San Clemente to name a few. Caregivers support many special events with their time, including Service Days, Public Witness events, Race for the Cure and the Heart Walk. When there is a need in the community, our staff respond with their time, expertise and financial support. Angel Program: Every year, Mission Hospital coordinates the “adoption” of families during Back to School and the holiday season. In FY25, 117 students from the community received much needed school supplies during our Back-to-School Angel Program in August, and 83 families (representing 117 adults and 175 children) were generously provided with individualized gifts for the 2024 holiday season. Over 40 hospital departments participated in this program, purchasing clothing, supplies, and gift cards for these families. We continued close partnerships with several outside organizations who adopted families in need including Cross Country Mortgage, LLC; In Spirit Center, Camino Health Center and Mission Heritage Medical Group. St. Joseph Day Food & Clothing Drive: As part of our celebration of St. Joseph, our Patron Saint, Mission Hospital hosts a food and clothing drive to help local non-profits who serve the vulnerable residents in South County. Our caregivers and the student volunteer program’s own Sophie Anderson assisted in coordinating the food drives in March 2025 to collect donations for local pantries like Father Serra’s Food Pantry and the Family Resource Centers.
