As a Catholic organization, we faithfully continue the healing Mission of Jesus, and respond to the needs of the whole person-body mind and spirit.
OUR VISION
~ To be leaders in continuing care, long-term care and rehabilitative care ~

Our acronym S.I.D.E., which identifies these four core values as Service, Integrity, Dignity and Excellence.
