The Cabrini response to healing extends beyond the walls of institutions, spilling over into neighborhoods and touching people in their homes. Each health care institution is a good neighbor in its local community, providing care and wellness programs to those in need, including "new immigrants" such as Hispanics and Asian peoples.

Cabrini health care is committed to serve all those in need in a wholistic approach, partnering where necessary to carry forward Catholic health care - promoting wellness, restoring health and relieving human suffering. In the spirit of Frances Cabrini, urban areas are not abandoned, clinics are accessible to local people in need, and community outreach is a commitment supported with time and resources.

Care for the elderly and the infirmed also goes beyond the physical structure of buildings and caring for physical needs only. Surroundings and treatment reflect places of ministry, not just facilities where independent living, assisted living and nursing home care is provided. Socialization is emphasized in an environment that honors the person and works to alleviate the isolation often felt by people in their final stages of life. Comfort, touch, healing and presence are freely given and received.
