Philosophy

The entire staff of St Ben's Clinic is dedicated to providing the highest quality health care and social services to our patients. We recognize the dignity of each person we serve and realize the importance of assuring consistency and continuity of quality health care at an accessible location. Strengthened by the help of dedicated volunteers, we strive to extend hospitality in an atmosphere of respect within the context of a Christian Community.

We attempt to provide service with an understanding of the special challenges, strengths, and needs of each homeless person and those at risk for homelessness, especially the chemically dependent and mentally ill.

St. Ben’s Clinic Vision

As a Catholic health care ministry, St Ben's Clinic shares the Franciscan vision of transforming the world through reverence, one life at a time. St. Ben’s will serve as the patient’s primary care provider until the patient can transition into traditional health care services, or for however long the patient might benefit from St. Ben’s services.
