COVID-19 response

Our continued response to COVID-19

Everything we do is motivated by our desire to provide compassionate, personalized, and safe care while also providing our associates with a healthy work environment. Our COVID-19 response is made possible by the hard work and dedication of our leaders, physicians, associates, volunteers, and supporters. We will continue to work together to keep our community healthy and safe.

COVID-19 testing

Our Ascension St. Vincent’s team worked around-the-clock during a weekend to open Jacksonville’s very first COVID-19 drive-thru testing site on March 17, 2020. They conducted nearly 13,000 COVID-19 tests. Based on community needs, we have transitioned this testing to our urgent care locations.

Mission PLUS(+) Fund

This new fund keeps our outreach ministries thriving and supports our caregivers. Many of our associates had spouses who lost their income during the pandemic. Thanks to donors contributing more than $223,000 to this fund, 421 associates received emergency financial assistance for rent/mortgage payments, utility bills, car payments, and groceries.

Mobile Health Outreach Ministry

Thanks in part to Mission PLUS(+) Funds, Mobile Health has continued caring for patients on the go, away from the hospitals. Even during a pandemic, it is critical to manage chronic conditions. Our care team kept the community safe in a variety of ways, including implementing universal masking, providing COVID-19 screenings, and administering free flu vaccines.

Recognition for our pandemic response

Both the Jacksonville Business Journal and the First Coast Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals recognized us for our continued comprehensive response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are honored by these recognitions and are blessed to care for this community.
