Organizational Summary

St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center (SJNC) provides comprehensive health care, counseling, social work, and support services to individuals and families who lack access to health insurance or encounter barriers to obtaining care. Established in 1993, the Center is committed to raising the health status and quality of life of the more than 3,000 clients served each year. This grassroots community-based organization depends on a small and dedicated group of paid staff and a corps of over 450 professional and lay volunteers.

Mission, Values, and Culture

St. Joseph’s Neighborhood Center identifies and responds to the unique health and social needs of individuals and communities in the greater Rochester region and has been doing so since 1993. The organization is rooted in the core values of Service, Education, Advocacy, Research, and Community Health.

The SJNC culture is unlike any other. The health center believes in the importance of community, social justice, collaboration, and transparency. The community kitchen is at the heart of the Center and the culture is thoughtfully tended to and maintained. In any given week, there may be an organizational potluck or a birthday celebration—complete with cake! There is always a puzzle at some phase of completion and at least once per month, there is a community breakfast for visitors, staff, and volunteers. Colleagues genuinely enjoy coming to work each day and miss one another when on holiday/vacation.
