Community
In the tradition of the Sisters of Charity, St Vincent's Clinic has a defining mission and strong commitment to the service of the poor and marginalised in our community. This is not only reflected in our works of charity but in the structure of the Clinic - with the Sisters of Charity Outreach providing "Compassion in Action" through it community services and the St Vincent's Clinic Foundation supporting research to improve clinical care for all our patients.
