As a part of Tulsa's 918 Day, a powerhouse team of women from Ascension St. John partnered with Green Country Habitat for Humanity frame a house for their annual Women Build event.
With every beam lifted and put into place, this group came together with other women-led construction teams at a site near 30th Place North and Lewis to help construct a new and healthier home for another Tulsa family.
Their teamwork and spirit of our volunteers reflected the heart of Ascension St. John: caring for people within our hospital as well as out in our community.
The St. John Foundation is a proud supporter of Green Country Habitat for Humanity through a grant from our Health Equity Initiative.

St. John’s Hospital (renamed Ascension St. John Medical Center) officially opened on February 22, 1926, but its story began nine years before, in 1917.

Ascension St. John awarded more than $15M in health equity-focused grants at their inaugural Legacy of Love Luncheon held Friday, February, 14, 2025. This event brought together community leaders, health equity partners and representatives from each of this year’s 40 grant-receiving organizations to celebrate the catalytic and community-focused activity supported by St. John’s Health Equity Initiative.
