HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital treats all people, regardless of their ability to pay. Your charitable donations help us go above and beyond in treating our patients, their families and other visitors who come through our hospital doors. Charitable donations also make up for the shortfalls of Medicaid and Medicare payments, and provides care for many patients who have no insurance or are underinsured. There is no donation too big or too small – and all gifts are valued for the difference they make in the life of another.

Since the Foundation was established in 1986, gifts from the community have made possible projects like the Friends Van, the new St. Joseph’s Hospital, technology for cancer and women’s health, as well as cardiac care, and numerous other pieces of equipment vital to patient care.

Please contact our foundation department at 618-651-2590 .

Ways to Give

Charitable Trusts

Charitable Trusts

Charitable trusts are another option for donors who wish to make a current or deferred gift to St. Joseph's Hospital but are concerned about retaining an income from the asset. Charitable trusts can provide donors with regular cash payments, current charitable income tax deduction, avoidance or reduction of estate taxes and elimination of money-management concerns. *Giving through such arrangements can be a meaningful way to blend your philanthropic goals with your personal financial and tax-planning needs. Charitable trusts are set up through an outside advisor such as through a trust department of a bank. It is important that you let us know if St. Joseph's Hospital is a beneficiary of a trust agreement so we may thank you and recognize your gift appropriately.

Why give to the Foundation?

Your gift makes a difference.

Without gifts from our community, HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital would not be able to do all it is called upon to do.

Other sources of income are simply not enough to provide quality healthcare to Highland area communities. Changing insurance, government reimbursement policies, an aging population, and continually increasing costs for health care technology make gifts to HSHS St. Joseph's Foundation essential.
