In 1869, CHRISTUS Santa Rosa was founded by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word. In 2019, we celebrated our 150th anniversary by establishing the 1869 Society. The 1869 Society (formerly known as Associate Giving Campaign) is exclusively for CHRISTUS Santa Rosa and Children’s Hospital Associates who make an annual personal financial gift to the Friends of CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Foundation, CHRISTUS Children’s Foundation, CHRISTUS Santa Rosa San Marcos Foundation or the Associate Relief Fund.
If every CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Associate gave just $5 per pay period, together we could raise more than $468,000 to impact the lives of our patients and fellow Associates.
Joining the 1869 Society is simple: choose a fund and make your gift. By making your donation, you join a movement of hundreds of fellow Associates who share your passion for our healing ministry. Your gift strengthens healing that can be seen, felt, and touched within the walls of our Hospitals. Please join us.
New in 2026, Associates will now have the option to donate to the Associate Relief Fund, a fund in collaboration with the CHRISTUS Health Foundation. The Associate Relief Fund provides financial Assistance to CHRISTUS Health Associates who are experiencing personal short-term financial hardship due to tragedy, disaster, or other extreme life events.
