Ascension St. Vincent’s Foundation hosted its 40th annual Red Rose Ball on May at The River Club in Downtown Jacksonville. The black-tie event supports community health outreach efforts in northeast Florida.

“Those who sponsor and attend this annual event help us provide compassionate healthcare to those who need it most,” said Virginia Hall, president of Ascension St. Vincent’s Foundation.

This year’s black-tie gala raised money to help Ascension St. Vincent’s Foundation support the organization’s public health outreach ministries that serve women, children and families, including education programs to combat infant mortality, physical exams for underserved children and infant health screenings.

“The support impacts the lives of thousands of underserved and underinsured children and families in our area.,” Hall said.

With funds from last year’s event, Ascension St. Vincent’s Foundation provided families with prenatal and postnatal healthcare services including childbirth classes, safe sleep practices, postpartum assessments and instruction on newborn care and breastfeeding. In addition, the Foundation’s Mobile Health Pediatric Outreach Ministry provided 3,765 free school and sports physicals to underserved children in the northeast Florida community.
