The original Humanitarian concept was formed in 1952 by a dedicated group of local physicians and businessmen who recognized the importance of making a significant investment to ensure the availability of high-quality healthcare resources to their community. Their legacy continues through the gift society dubbed “The Humanitarians.”

The Humanitarian Gift Society members see the value in St. John’s mission and help secure critical needs for those seeking care at our hospitals. Being a part of this important giving society is rewarding. You will be making a significant investment to ensure high-quality healthcare resources are available in your community.
