Why Join Us?

We welcome everyone. This principle, articulated by a member of our outreach team, embodies the philosophy of our organization to embrace all individuals in need. This commitment drives our mission, vision, and daily operations.

Following the Civil War, four pioneering Sisters of Mercy arrived from Savannah to Atlanta and founded Saint Joseph's Hospital. When the hospital moved to the suburbs a century later, dedicated volunteer physicians, nurses, and staff took to the streets of downtown Atlanta to provide care to the most vulnerable. This compassionate mission laid the groundwork for what is now our organization.

In 2012, Saint Joseph's Hospital transitioned to Emory Saint Joseph's Hospital, while our organization continued under the Saint Joseph's Health System, focusing on serving the poor.

Over the past decade, we have experienced significant growth, adapting to new patient and community needs. In 2017, we opened a new clinic in Chamblee to serve the expanding Hispanic community, and in 2022, we renovated and expanded our Decatur Street clinic to better serve our patient population.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

As one of the largest not-for-profit, Catholic healthcare systems in the country, we are grounded in our Mission and Core Values, integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion into all aspects of our work. Our team members bring a variety of experiences, backgrounds, and talents, allowing us to provide the best care possible.
