he pioneering spirit that the Sisters of Mercy brought to Oxnard over 105 years ago,<br />
continues to live through the dedicated commitment of community members who<br />
value St. John’s Hospitals and do what is possible to support our work. The funds<br />
raised by these groups have been invested in the newest technology and equipment,<br />
and support health programs and initiatives. We encourage you to take part in the spirit<br />
of philanthropy through these giving organizations.<br />
TST. JOHN’S HUMANITARIANS<br />
In 1952 a band of champions stepped up to “save the day” when fundraising fell short for the construction of<br />
the new St. John’s Hospital in Oxnard. Each of the men and women committed to a substantial investment of<br />
personal wealth to address this critical need, and from there formed the Humanitarian Giving Society. Today,<br />
64 years later, the Humanitarians continue to address healthcare needs at St. John’s, with kindness, compassion,<br />
and resources. Each year we show our appreciation for today’s<br />
Humanitarians with a lively reception, which this last year was<br />
held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. More than 150<br />
guests enjoyed a lovely evening where special recognition was given<br />
to the <strong>2016</strong> Spirit of Philanthropy Award recipients, Gloria and<br />
Jerry Reed, and James and Mona Cecil.<br />
