Other relevant information to the hospital's community benefit plan not otherwise captured:
In addition to the financial investments made by the 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 Participations: Hospital leaders serve on the Board of Directors and Advisory Committees of many non-profit organizations, including St. Jude Neighborhood Health Centers, The Cambodian Family Community Center, Community Health Initiative of Orange County, MOMS Orange County, and this spring, the Senior Director for Community Health in OC/HD was appointed to serve as a hospital representative on the Orange County Board of Supervisors Commission to End Homelessness. The hospital participated in the County of Orange Health Care Agency Health Equity in OC Initiative. Smile Makers: Christmas Angels (Adopt-a-Family Program): Every year, St. Joseph Hospital coordinates the Adopt-a-Family Christmas Program. In FY25, the hospital partnered with Angel Tree Prison Fellowship to provide children with an incarcerated parent(s) a gift and school supplies, Council on Aging - Southern California and the Orange Senior Center to provide 55 seniors residing alone or in long term care facilities without friends or family with an individual gift during the 2024 Holiday season. Additionally, 6 military families from Camp Pendleton, 7 caregivers and their families were generously provided with presents and gift cards. This effort was achieved by the participation of our caregivers.
