About Us

In 1878, Bishop Francis Silas Chatard, himself a physician before his ordination, envisioned the creation of a Catholic hospital in Indiana, to be managed by the Daughters of Charity. Just three years later, with only $34.77 between them, the first four Daughters of Charity arrived in Indianapolis to begin this endeavor.

Fast forward to 1968, the Ascension St. Vincent Foundation was created with a mission to raise and steward philanthropic contributions dedicated to enhancing patient care, particularly for those most in need. Today, the Ascension St. Vincent Foundation continues to support all our Indianapolis ministries, including Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital and the groundbreaking Cardiovascular Research Institute. Additionally, our reach extends to rural communities, ensuring that quality care is accessible to all.
