Partnerships and Volunteerism

Habitat for Humanity
Saint Francis and MassMutual co-sponsored a Hartford Habitat home in our neighborhood. As a result, home ownership became a reality for someone who could not otherwise afford it.
American Heart Walk
With its strong focus on cardiology and cardiac surgery, the American Heart Association’s annual walk is a natural fit for our volunteer efforts.

As a regular sponsor of the Floor Hockey event, Saint Francis is proud to see its employees turn out in large numbers to help run the event and act as buddies to the Special Olympics athletes.
Christmas in April
Saint Francis has consistently provided leadership to this initiative. A large group of our employees volunteer to repair homes belonging to disabled and low-income families.
Hospice Volunteer Program
Saint Francis employees from our Business Office, our Case Management department and the Day Hospital volunteer for hospice duty regularly. Their assistance provides patient care, respite for families and much-needed clerical help.

A collaboration between Saint Francis and a variety of medical, social service and law enforcement agencies, the center’s goal is to minimize the individual and family trauma associated with child abuse.
Alcohol and Drug Recovery Centers (ADRC)

The Urban League’s mission of education, employment training, housing assistance and community health services is vital to individuals seeking to lead productive lives. Through leadership at the board and committee levels, Saint Francis employees make a valuable contribution to the individuals served by the Urban League.
Burgdorf/Bank of America Health Center
Located on our Mount Sinai Campus, this center is dedicated to providing access to services for Hartford’s north end residents.

Upper Albany Merchants Association
In an effort to revitalize the business climate along Hartford’s Route 44 area from Homestead Avenue to Main Street, Saint Francis is providing support to this association of Hartford-based businesses.
