The mission of the Sisters of Saint Joseph Health and Wellness Foundation is to improve and enhance the spiritual, physical and psychological health of all West Virginians by making resources available that promote and support collaboration and partnering among various local, state, national and government groups.

The Sisters of Saint Joseph Health and Wellness Foundation was established to address the health needs of West Virginians. There is a growing body of research telling us that to do this effectively; we must make the quality of early experiences and the health of children and youth top priorities. Because of this, the Foundation focuses its efforts on specific projects with the most promise to impact the long-term health of West Virginia's children.

Rather than funding multiple grant requests from various organizations, this approach allows the Foundation to partner with existing initiatives demonstrating best practices in child health and wellness. The Sisters of Saint Joseph Health and Wellness Foundation is currently focused on the West Virginia School-Based Health Initiative and Child Advocacy Centers.

Since its creation in 2001, the Sisters of Saint Joseph Health and Wellness Foundation has awarded over $4 million in grants.
