OUR MISSION STATEMENT “The poor and the sick are the heart of God. By serving them, we serve Jesus the Christ.” - St. Camillus de Lellis (1550 -1614) By providing services to the poor, the sick and the elderly with a sense of compassion and love, St. Camillus campus offers hope and meaning to those who are suffering, comfort and security to those who are aging, and serenity to those who are dying, taking into account each person’s innate dignity, unique needs, and God given rights. OUR FOUNDER - ST. CAMILLUS DE LELLIS St. Camilllus de Lellis was born in Bocchianico, Italy on May 25, 1550. His mother died when he was a child and he was neglected by his father. At age 16, he joined his father in the Venetian army and spent a number of years serving in the military. He became an avid gambler and by 1574, was penniless in Naples. At 24, he became a Capuchin novice, but was unable to be professed because of an infected leg that would remain with him for life. He committed to devoting himself to caring for the sick. In 1591, Pope Gregory XIV approved and established the status of an Order called “Order of the Ministers of the Sick.” OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE St. Camillus will become a nationally recognized Life Plan Community by achieving the highest levels of healthcare quality; sharing knowledge and best practices; and delivering exceptional experiences to help individuals achieve their life goals.
