Across Ascension, investments in hospitals, emergency departments, and family-centered care environments are creating more connected, accessible, and personalized experiences for patients and communities.

Driven by evidence-based nursing practices and a systemwide commitment to quality and safety, Ascension has achieved a 0% outcome gap in severe, hospital-acquired pressure injuries between patients with light and dark skin tones, according to newly released fiscal year 2026 data.

This National Health Center Week, Ascension celebrates our Community Health Ministries (CHMs) for expanding access to care in the communities they serve.
