With the aim of providing the best health care services to all, the foundation also provides financial support to the Bone and Joint Hospital at St. Anthony and other SSM Health programs. The St. Anthony Foundation is also preparing itself for the future needs of health care in Oklahoma City through its phase-wise Saints Vision Campaign, initially launched in 2005.
