The Heart of Helping
We believe the measure of a person is deeply rooted in their values, and the measure of an organization, deeply rooted in its people.
At St. Mary, volunteers have been at the heart of the hospital's healing mission for nearly half a century.
This indispensable group of caring, dedicated women, men and young people touch the lives of our patients and the fabric of our organization with their commitment to Dignity, Excellence, Service, Justice and Hospitality in the High Desert communities we serve.
