CHI St. Vincent has a legacy of nearly 130 years as a healing ministry serving the people of Arkansas.

MISSION

CHI St. Vincent is a vibrant health care ministry striving to meet the needs of the communities we serve. Together, with compassionate caregivers, physicians, volunteers and the generosity of many, we are advancing patient care in Arkansas. In 1888, the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in Little Rock and the Sisters of Mercy in Hot Springs answered a call to help communities in need, with a strong faith and courage. We are proudly carrying their healing ministry into the future, and we remain committed to making CHI St. Vincent a great place to work, practice medicine and deliver excellent, compassionate care.

The CHI St. Vincent Foundation is dedicated to creating healthier communities, fostering innovations in health care and providing access to quality, affordable care across Arkansas.

Gifts to the foundation fuel transformative investments in innovative treatments, new technology, state-of-the-art facilities, and education and research that directly benefit Arkansas. Every contribution to the foundation is a meaningful investment in the health and well-being of Arkansans.

CHI St. Vincent and the CHI St. Vincent Foundation have a nearly 130-year legacy of caring for this community.

The inaugural class of the CHI St. Vincent/University of Arkansas-Little Rock Pathway Program partnership began in fall 2017. The 37 students are part of an accelerated program intended to help address the statewide nursing shortage.

FUNDRAISERS AND EVENTS

The Foundation hosts an annual Golf Classic in May to raise money for the UA - Little Rock Pathway Program partnership, which provides financial assistance to students and support for faculty of the college’s nursing program. The program addresses the critical nursing shortage and affords students who complete the program an RN position at CHI St. Vincent.

We also host “Feasts,” a series of small, in-home gatherings that engage potential donors in conversation about opportunities to advance our mission and ministry through philanthropic support. Community 1888 members are invited in March to our annual event at the Clinton Presidential Library.
