Everybody deserves healthcare
Healthcare is essential. For 159 years, we have provided compassionate and comprehensive healthcare services to anyone who walks through our doors, regardless of background, financial circumstances or status.
No exceptions. Just exceptional care.
The Floating Hospital serves as a healthcare safety net to nearly 27,000 children and adults each year.

Your support enables us to deliver vital healthcare services and meaningful relief to families that need it most.
