Community Service
Saint Joseph’s Hospital provides an extensive community network to the city of Atlanta, providing more than $37 million annually in charitable and uncompensated care for the poor and elderly. Additionally, another $7 million is raised each year to help those least able to cover medical costs. The staff also has a number of organized service oriented projects including Raise the Roof, a joint effort with Charis to build homes for families in need, and Mercy Day, an effort to collect items to provide hygiene kits to the homeless in accordance with the Sisters of Mercy and their mission.
