Mission Giving

At Mission Health, caring for others reached past the walls of our Communities. Our mission begins with residents, patients, and families, but it also includes supporting our employees and strengthening the neighborhoods where we live and work.

Through Mission Giving, our community involvement program, we bring people together to improve lives through service, support, and shared purpose. These initiatives reflect our CARES values in action, helping us create healthier, more connected communities.

Caregiving is deeply rewarding. But it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. Through the Giving Back to Caregivers Initiative, Mission Health provides resources, support, and encouragement for caregivers both inside and outside our communities. From educational tools and stress-management strategies to wellness activities and support opportunities, this initiative helps caregivers feel supported and appreciated for the essential work they do every day.

Mission Health team members are passionate about serving the communities they call home. Through the Giving Back to Neighbors Grant Initiative, employees who volunteer with registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations can help direct additional support to causes they care about. Approved organizations receive a $100 grant from Mission Health in recognition of the employee’s volunteer service, helping amplify the impact our team members are already making in their local communities.

Mission Health proudly partners with organizations such as the Alzheimer’s Association and the American Heart Association to support important health initiatives at the local, regional, and national levels. Through the Giving Back Together Initiative, our communities and home office teams participate in fundraising, awareness efforts, volunteer opportunities, and collaborative events that strengthen relationships while advancing causes that matter deeply to our residents, families, and employees.

Little Mailbox

Building Connections Through Little Free Libraries

At the 2026 Mission Health Leadership Conference in Kansas City, Mission Giving came to life in a hands-on way as teams from across the organization worked together to build custom Little Free Libraries for their communities. Each team—made up of Mission Health Community and regional leaders—assembled and personalized a library to be installed back at their local campus, creating a welcoming space where residents, families, staff, and neighbors can share books and connect through reading. Conference attendees also brought favorite books from home to help seed the libraries’ first collections, while additional books were selected onsite to help each library reflect the interests of its unique community. The activity symbolized what Mission Giving is all about: building connections, encouraging lifelong learning, and creating small but important ways to strengthen the communities we serve.
