Our Mission

Our History

St. John’s Health Foundation was founded in 1999 by long-time Jackson community members Addie Donnan, James Eden, David Stokes, John Valiante, Shirley Cheramy, and Gloria Newton. Their collective goal was to increase awareness of services available at St. John’s Health and provide financial support to ensure long-term independence. Since its inception, Foundation supporters have made St. John’s Health's growth possible, continually bringing the founders’ vision to life.
