YOU CARE
Dear Friends and Supporters,
As we reflect on the past year, I am deeply moved by the incredible impact of our Foundation community. Because you care, healing happens, hope is renewed and lives are saved every day across Ascension Illinois.
Your generosity unites us in compassion — supporting those who are sick, vulnerable and most in need. Together, we are strengthening our communities ensuring everyone has the opportunity to thrive. This year, we celebrate the lives you have touched and the healing you have helped make possible — all because you care.
As we look to the year ahead, we do so with gratitude for your generosity and shared commitment to providing hope, healing and compassionate care for all.
