Social Outreach and Advocacy
St John of God Health Care, through its
Social Outreach and Advocacy
activities, continues the legacy of the founding Sisters of St John
of God. Community life, from birth to the end of life, is
embraced as are all the challenges this presents. Catholic health
care recognises a special obligation to reach out to those who are
most vulnerable and a belief that the healthiest society is one in
which every member is valued and respected.
In Geelong, we provide:
We involve ourselves in partnerships with others
in a range of activities because true health involves all aspects
of the environment and conditions in which people live and
work.
As well as helping the vulnerable, providing care and relief to
people who are oppressed, materially poor, powerless and
marginalised is core to St John of God Health Care's mission of
healing. We want to contribute toward just and inclusive
communities where everyone's dignity is respected and
supported.
