As part of our commitment to 100 percent access to healthcare and 100 percent coverage, Ascension Health serves as a voice for the voiceless by using our ideas, influence and actions to advocate for people who are poor and vulnerable.

"100 percent access and 100 percent coverage" means that all persons, particularly those persons who are uninsured or underinsured, receive healthcare services and health insurance that creates and supports the best journey to improved health outcomes for each individual, financed in an adequate and sustainable fashion.

Through our resources and our presence in so many communities, we have an opportunity to amplify the voices of those most in need.

We are advocates for Healthcare That Leaves No One Behind. Like Healthcare That Works and Healthcare That Is Safe, our promise to achieve Healthcare That Leaves No One Behind is part of Ascension Health's Strategic Direction. It is a calling that is rooted in our Catholic faith and in our obligation to reach out to our brothers and sisters.
