Our Tradition
A Legacy of Compassionate Giving
In 1984, our Foundation was established as a not-for-profit organization committed to strengthening healthcare for the people of the Gulf Coast, both now and in the future. From the start, we have honored the enduring tradition of giving to help others, the same spirit that inspired the founding of the original Sacred Heart Hospital.
More than a century ago, the Daughters of Charity were called to Pensacola to build a hospital that would offer better healthcare to the community. Their mission was made possible by a generous local businessman and others he inspired to give. That early act of philanthropy still echoes throughout our region today.
Ascension Sacred Heart continues the work the Daughters began, caring for the most vulnerable among us. Just as they opened their doors to the poor and the sick, we serve with compassion and dignity, supported by the generosity of individuals and families throughout the communities we serve.
This tradition of giving is the foundation of our past, the strength of our present, and the promise of our future.
Living Our Vision
Answering God’s call to bring health, healing and hope to all.
At Ascension Sacred Heart, we are committed to building a healthier, more compassionate future for Northwest Florida. Guided by our faith and mission, we are creating a healing ministry that welcomes every person—young and old, rich and poor, insured and uninsured—with dignity, respect, and expert care.
We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality healthcare, regardless of their circumstances. That’s why our hospitals and care facilities open their doors to everyone, providing life-saving services, advanced treatments, and innovative programs that would otherwise be out of reach for many in our community.
Our vision is bold: to become the driving force for a stronger, more equitable healthcare future in our region. Through the power of charitable giving and the dedication of volunteers, we are expanding our reach, transforming lives, and answering the call to serve as Christ’s healing hands in the world.
Together, with your support, we are not just treating illness, we are restoring hope, building healthier communities, and living out our mission each and every day.
