Mission

ROOTED IN THE LOVING MINISTRY OF JESUS AS HEALER, WE COMMIT OURSELVES TO SERVING ALL PERSONS WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THOSE WHO ARE POOR AND VULNERABLE. OUR CATHOLIC HEALTH MINISTRY IS DEDICATED TO SPIRITUALLY CENTERED HOLISTIC CARE WHICH SUSTAINS AND IMPROVES THE HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS AND VIA CHRISTI FOUNDATION PROVIDES LEADERSHIP, PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ASCENSION VIA CHRISTI'S EFFORTS TO RAISE PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT OF ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT HEALTHCARE TO THE COMMUNITY AND REGION.

990 for the year ended June 30, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • THE FILING ORGANIZATION IS A PART OF THE ASCENSION CATHOLIC HEALTH MINISTRY. ASCENSION IS A FAITH-BASED HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION THAT DELIVERS PERSONALIZED, COMPASSIONATE CARE TO ALL, ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO NEED IT THE MOST. THE VIA CHRISTI FOUNDATION PROVIDES CRITICAL SUPPORT TO PATIENTS AND FAMILIES THROUGH A WIDE RANGE OF PROGRAMS. OUR PATIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM OFFERS TRANSPORTATION, DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, MEDICATIONS, AND CLOTHING FOR INDIVIDUALS FACING FINANCIAL HARDSHIP, ENSURING ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL CARE AND RESOURCES. WE ARE ALSO PROUD TO FUND MANY IMPORTANT ENDEAVORS THROUGH THE CHILDREN'S MIRACLE NETWORK HOSPITAL AT ASCENSION VIA CHRISTI, WHICH SERVES CHILDREN ACROSS KANSAS REGARDLESS OF DIAGNOSIS OR ABILITY TO PAY. FAMILIES BENEFIT DIRECTLY THROUGH THIS SUPPORT, RECEIVING CARE THAT PUTS THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN AND THEIR WELL-BEING FIRST. ANOTHER VITAL AREA OF IMPACT IS OUR FORENSIC NURSING PROGRAM. IN 2025 ALONE, ASCENSION VIA CHRISTI FORENSIC NURSING SERVICES CARED FOR 550 VICTIMS OF ASSAULT. WITH THE HELP OF GRANT FUNDING, WE TRAINED THREE NEW SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINERS (SANES), SENT FOUR NURSES TO THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FORENSIC NURSES ANNUAL CONFERENCE, AND SUPPORTED CONTINUING EDUCATION AT THE KANSAS COALITION AGAINST SEXUAL AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HUMAN TRAFFICKING CONFERENCE. WE ALSO MOVED INTO A NEW SANE SUITE, ONE OF ONLY THREE FACILITIES IN SEDGWICK COUNTY PROVIDING MEDICAL FORENSIC EXAMINATIONS. TOGETHER, OUR TEAM CARES FOR NEARLY 600 CASES EACH YEAR-OFFERING DIGNITY, COMPASSION, AND EXPERT CARE TO PATIENTS IN CRISIS. BEYOND DIRECT PATIENT ASSISTANCE-WHETHER THROUGH PEDIATRICS, FORENSIC NURSING, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, OR THE REHABILITATION HOSPITAL-THE FOUNDATION ALSO INVESTS IN CAPITAL PROJECTS AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT TO STRENGTHEN THE OVERALL MISSION OF ASCENSION VIA CHRISTI.
