About Us

Groundbreaking, 1973

"For your health and that of your friends and family,
 from this ground must rise a city of healing."

— Edwin T. Johnson, 1969 General Campaign Chairman for St. Mary Hospital

OUR MISSION: The mission of the Foundation is to maximize resources from the community to financially support and encourage development of programs that enhance quality healthcare at St. Mary Medical Center.


From its beginning in 1973, St. Mary Medical Center has partnered with the community to build the City of Healing originally envisioned by the Sisters of St. Francis. This community support is paramount in providing the best quality medical care, state-of-the-art technology, and life-saving emergency and trauma services — all delivered in a caring and compassionate way.

St. Mary Foundation accepts all gifts on behalf of St. Mary Medical Center for the sole benefit of the organization. The Foundation helps to accomplish the priorities of St. Mary through fundraising, volunteerism, gift management and stewardship. Donors play an integral role in the future of St. Mary as it strives to provide world class medical care right here in Bucks County.

Since its inception, St. Mary Medical Center has received generous gifts of resources, time and talent, making it possible to secure the wherewithal and technology needed to maintain its position as a leader in healthcare — caring for the whole person — mind, body and spirit. The philanthropic activities of the St. Mary Medical Center Foundation help ensure that all people of Bucks County, especially the underserved, are guaranteed the most comprehensive, cutting-edge medical attention — now and for generations to come.

A gift to St. Mary is a personal expression of compassion for the things that matter most to you. It is the generosity of our donors that allows St. Mary to live its mission. It's all about you.
