Core values

- **Community Benefit**: Ascension provided $2.1 billion in care for the poor and community benefit programs in fiscal year 2024, which is four times what they would have paid in taxes as a for-profit company. This significantly addresses health inequities and improves access to healthcare[1].
- **Environmental Sustainability**: Ascension is actively reducing its carbon footprint, minimizing waste, and addressing climate change impacts on communities. They aim to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2040, which contributes to a more sustainable future[3][5].
- **Holistic Care**: Ascension's approach extends beyond healthcare to include improving public health initiatives, advancing knowledge and education, and relieving the burden on governmental resources. This holistic approach improves the overall well-being of individuals and communities[1].
