Saint Elizabeth Foundation, an affiliate of CommonSpirit Health, is dedicated to promoting excellent, compassionate, and spiritual care within CHI Nebraska and the communities they serve. Their mission is to make the healing presence of God known in the world by improving the health of vulnerable individuals, particularly those they serve. The organization raises funds to support caregiving at Saint Elizabeth and Nebraska Heart, ensuring that programs within the health systems and the community provide exceptional care. Saint Elizabeth Foundation ensures that gifts are administered according to donors' intentions by establishing restricted accounts for specific purposes.

In line with their mission, Saint Elizabeth Foundation strives to advance social justice for all. They contribute to various causes, such as providing assistance to patients after discharge, helping them with non-covered prescription costs, lodging, meals, and travel needs. The foundation also maintains an emergency fund for employees of CHI Health Saint Elizabeth, Nebraska Heart, and their Lincoln-based affiliates, offering aid in utilities, rent, food, transportation, and medical needs for qualifying employees. Additionally, the Neonatal Family Assistance Program supports families whose infants are in the neonatal intensive care unit, allowing them to stay close to their newborns and develop a bond, rather than traveling back and forth between home and hospital.

In summary, Saint Elizabeth Foundation is committed to raising funds to promote exceptional caregiving and to advance social justice. They provide assistance to patients and employees in various ways, including financial aid for non-covered medical expenses, emergency funds for employees, and support for families with infants in the neonatal intensive care unit.
