In a time when care is becoming increasingly commercialised and complex; where patients have become numbers, not people; and health and hospitals have become more about symptom management than compassion ... St Vincent's Brisbane stands alone as a special place where people come to be rejuvenated, transformed.  A place that is part of life's journey: not life's destination.

Continuing to build on the foundations and spirit of the Sisters of Charity, and with an unwavering faith in people and the community it serves, St Vincent's Brisbane believes that a healthy life is not just about body - it's also about mind and spirit.

It is about empowering people in their journey through life.  Rejuvenating their sense of self, providing support and understanding that helps to confront challenges and overcome them - to prevail.  Recognising that people have different needs and different circumstances.  We call it 'wholistic' health care.

St Vincent's Brisbane is truly an amazing place, unique in the health care landscape.  It offers life support in the true sense of the word, where people can feel that they belong.  A place they can come to and be cared for, not scared.

At St Vincent's Brisbane, people - our patients, their families, our staff and our friends - help us remember why we do what we do.  Why we are taking the best from what we've learnt in the past, to recognise what we need for the future.  It is about positive change and healthy growth.  Because change is a part of growing - and growing is a part of life.
