Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death for women in the United States, with over 200,000 women in the U.S. diagnosed with breast cancer every year. The Pink Ribbon Fund was established to assure that all women, regardless if they have health insurance or not, will have access to mammography services. Early detection of breast cancer with screening mammography means that treatment can be started earlier in the course of the disease, with the potential of saving lives.

"We strive to be good stewards of the gifts and resources entrusted to us and to use them to create a healthy community. This includes responding to the needs of those who are less fortunate through service and advocacy."

Vice President, Mission Integration at SMMC
Named in honor of Saint Vincent Pallotti, St. Mary's Medical Center’s Pallotti Fund provides financial assistance for patients in need. When patients are discharged from the medical center, they often have difficulty paying for their prescriptions. They fund can be utilized to finance other expenses, including those associated with renting or purchasing medical equipment.
We try to put ourselves in the place of others and to be present in their suffering as well as their need. We wish to allow God’s compassion to come alive in our actions; therefore, we strive to reach out to others, touching their lives and communicating love through generous service.
