St. Catherine's Village

St. Catherine's Village Health is high among our values. Efforts to preserve and prolong health are an expression of a desire to be fully human; a desire and effort that certainly need no further justification.

Our mission means caring for all persons with respect for their personal worth and dignity, embracing their total needs—physical, spiritual, emotional and social. St. Catherine’s Village Mission of Service can be accomplished only through careful selection of dedicated, qualified employees who understand this mission; an organizational environment which stimulates all to high standards of performance and which provides ongoing educational programs; and appropriate programs of evaluation and quality assurance.

This mission of St. Catherine’s Village is accomplished in conformance with the philosophy of the Dominican Sisters and the Ethical Standards observed in Catholic Health Care Institutions in the United States, following the “Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Facilities” approved by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. The mission is pursued within our own fiscal limitations and those imposed by state and federal statutes.

St. Catherine’s Village continues to assess the health needs of the community and respond appropriately, assuming a major responsibility for the provision of quality health care to residents of the State of Mississippi. As an integral part of its mission, St.

Catherine’s Village strives to deliver quality care and to reach out to the poor and the elderly of our population. Through wellness and health promotion programs and the provision of health education opportunities based on current needs, St. Catherine’s Village continues to preserve and improve the quality of life and health status of the community.

It seeks constantly to improve the quality of service and care it offers, the level of which is always in response to services needed and never compromised by the resident’s ability to pay. What Makes Us Special St Catherine’s Village recognizes its basic participation in the mission of the church which involves two main ministries: Education and Healthcare. The three elements of the church’s mission—Communication, Community and Service—must be present in both the teaching and healing ministries.

Therefore, these three activities—Communicating a Christian Message, Establishing Community, and Performing Service—express our mission of Christian healing at St. Catherine’s Village.
