Mount Carmel St. Ann’s is launching a transformative renovation to create a state of the art maternity experience for families. This project addresses a critical need to modernize our facilities, exceed community standards, and strengthen our ability to deliver compassionate, high quality care.

As one of central Ohio’s busiest and most trusted maternity hospitals, MCSA welcomes more than 3,000 babies each year. The hospital is nationally recognized for excellence in childbirth and infant feeding, earning the prestigious Baby Friendly® Designation—an honor achieved by fewer than 10% of hospitals nationwide. MCSA is also repeatedly ranked among America’s Best Maternity Hospitals by Newsweek and Statista.

Your support helps ensure every pregnancy — and every baby — receives the safest, healthiest start possible. By investing in this renovation, you are strengthening a cornerstone of care for families across our community and helping shape the future of maternity services at Mount Carmel.

Your generosity makes exceptional beginnings possible.

Receiving a cancer diagnosis is life-changing. Plans for the future are thrown into question, each and every decision becomes acutely important, and a sense of uncertainty becomes a certainty. The Mount Carmel Foundation proudly supports Mount Carmel Cancer Services, which provides comprehensive cancer care to our patients and support for their families and loved ones from diagnosis to treatment and remission and survivorship. The Foundation provides funding every step of the way, with insightful education opportunities that inform patient care, advanced equipment that improves medical outcomes, and Cancer Survivor groups that build a sense of community for those who have battled and beaten cancer.

As a training hospital, inspiring and molding future generations of physicians with values of compassion and integrity is a sacred responsibility that Mount Carmel Graduate Medical Education takes to heart. The Foundation supports our graduate residents and faculty in providing transformational educational opportunities that not only provide residents with crucial, real-world clinical know-how, but also opportunities to develop a sense of purpose and a service mindset. These opportunities include medical mission trips around the world and serving those who wouldn’t otherwise have access to medical services. The GME program also focuses on the important elements of diet, nutrition and healthy eating by growing healthy produce in our community garden at Mount Carmel Grove City, hosting informative cooking classes, and learning how to effectively communicate with patients about diet, lifestyle and their impact on well-being.

Cardiovascular disease and conditions are strikingly common. In fact, an American suffers a heart attack every 40 seconds. More than 5.3 million Americans have atrial fibrillation. Heart disease accounts for 1 in 5 deaths among women in the United States. These alarming statistics underline the critical role Mount Carmel Heart & Vascular Centers play in central Ohio by providing innovative cardiac treatments. The Mount Carmel Foundation provides funding for our Cardiac physicians and caregivers to continue providing cutting-edge, transformative care to our community, including comprehensive care tailored to the unique needs of women at the Women’s Heart Program at Mount Carmel East and Mount Carmel Grove City.

Mobility is a gift – one that’s often taken for granted until the ease of movement is made challenging by an injury or health condition that makes previously effortless routines seem daunting and even insurmountable. Overcoming and healing from those injuries is often painstaking and slow, highlighting the paramount importance of dedicated orthopedic clinicians and therapists like ours at Mount Carmel. The Foundation proudly invests in our orthopedic services teams by providing focused educational opportunities and cutting-edge equipment, ensuring that each of our patients’ healing journeys back to normalcy is carefully supported each and every step of the way.

The dedicated colleagues of Mount Carmel – from our front-line caregivers to our administrative staff and Environmental Services teams – are the well-spring of our Mission. They make our work in service of the central Ohio community possible. In times of acute financial need, the Mount Carmel Foundation’s Sister Rose Thomas fund provides an emergency "safety net" for those colleagues who need help overcoming short-term financial emergencies.

The Mount Carmel Foundation recognizes that each of our patients’ healing journeys is as unique as the patient themselves. A hospital visit is more than simply caring for our patients’ physical well-being, but also an opportunity to provide uplifting and culturally sensitive spiritual care that respects each person’s background and beliefs. The Foundation invests in the education and support of our Spiritual Care Services team so they can serve each patient with respect and dignity and reflect Mount Carmel’s commitment to our patients’ total well-being.

Mount Carmel provides a broad network of trauma care throughout central Ohio. Our Level II Trauma Center at Mount Carmel East allows us to quickly respond to the community’s immediate trauma needs, and the Mount Carmel Foundation supports Trauma Services by investing in advanced ongoing clinical education and technology that ensure best practices, innovative care, and improved clinical outcomes.

Women’s healthcare needs are diverse and need specialized care that’s developed and uniquely attuned to their personal health journey. Mount Carmel provides a wide array of focused, specialized care that meets our female patients where they are, understanding their unique health conditions and providing informed, evidence-based care that respects their dignity. The Mount Carmel Foundation supports our Women’s Health initiatives with strategic investments that support women and girls at every stage of life – the from childhood to adulthood, motherhood to grandmotherhood. That includes our Women’s Mid-Life program, a comprehensive Doula program, and our Women’s Heart Champion initiative.
