CHI Saint Joseph Health

CHI Saint Joseph Health recently partnered with Habitat for Humanity and the Catholic Parishes of Lexington to sponsor a new townhome build. Teams from CHI Saint Joseph Health volunteered at the home build, which was purchased by Porsha, a caregiver with Saint Joseph East, by assisting with building and other elements of the project. A blessing of the home was led by Bishop John. We're thrilled to support and sponsor community projects like this which ultimately make a difference in our community! #Hellohumankindness
