Community
Whether by providing life-saving emergency care or heart surgery, participating in community events, or offering free seminars and health fairs, St. Francis-Emory Healthcare focuses on caring for those we serve. The hospital’s associates continue building upon the 65+ year legacy of excellent healthcare St. Francis-Emory has established as well as exploring new ways to improve the health and wellbeing of the communities we are honored to care for.
St. Francis-Emory is part of ScionHealth, one of the nation’s largest hospital systems whose purpose is to “empower the hands that heal” to do what they do best. We accomplish this purpose as we provide skilled, compassionate care to the many friends, families and neighbors in the communities we serve who come through our doors seeking better health and well-being. And, we enhance our ability to deliver outstanding patient outcomes and experiences by living our company’s three Values that Empower: Value Every Voice, Show Courage, and Lean Into New Ideas.
St. Francis is a long-time supporter of many organizations through both monetary and in-kind donations made each year. It is our practice to contribute to activities, organizations and causes throughout the Greater Columbus region.

As part of ScionHealth, St. Francis continues our long-time charity care policies and a local Board of Trustees ensures the community’s voice in the governance of the hospital. And, as it has since its founding, St. Francis-Emory continues to recognize the importance of “holy” when it comes to healing, placing priority on meeting the spiritual needs of patients, their families, and their friends through the Chaplain Services ministry and weekly services held in the hospital chapel.
