SAINT AGNES
HOSPITAL
ANNUAL REPORT 2015
A VISION REALIZED

ANNUAL REPORT 2015
Dauntless courage. Unwavering dedication. Determined faith.
The Daughters of Charity built Saint Agnes in 1862 on the foundation
of these leadership attributes, inspired by the healing ministry of
Jesus to provide quality health care for all who needed it — especially
those who were poor and vulnerable.
Their pioneering legacy has been reaffirmed and renewed over the
past decade as Saint Agnes has transformed both its facilities and its
clinical services to meet our community’s needs for the foreseeable
future.
Saint Agnes has been blessed with visionary leadership, then and
now, guiding us on our mission. This report celebrates A Vision
Realized — the transformation of facilities and programs which have
been achieved in recent years and the community partners who have
joined Saint Agnes in our journey to a healthier future.

LEADERSHIP
BONNIE PHIPPS
Group Operating Executive, SVP, Ascension Health
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.” Henry David Thoreau said it — but
our founders, the Daughters of Charity, lived it in their dedication to community
and mission. I have had the great honor to lead Saint Agnes as its president and
CEO since 2005, and together we have forged new dreams and seen many of them
realized. As I transition to a regional role with Ascension, I leave the administration
of Saint Agnes in the care of our excellent executive team, and I am confident that
the future of Saint Agnes will be as brilliant as our cross, lighting up the Southwest
Baltimore sky.
PATRICK MUTCH
Interim President & CEO, Saint Agnes Healthcare
It is no exaggeration to say that Saint Agnes stands poised at the brink of a new
and transformed healthcare market. As the ground shifts around us and health
reform changes the way we deliver care and help our patients, we remain devoted
to our traditional values while seeking new and innovative ways to help our com-
munity. I am honored to serve the hospital, our community, and our supporters
as we accomplish our goals and realize the vision of our founders, reaffirming the
hope and joy of our ministry.
PAUL CHEW
Chair, Saint Agnes Healthcare Board of Directors
I am privileged to serve Saint Agnes as Chair of its Board of Directors during such
an exciting time in the history of our organization. One need only stroll through
the campus, or walk into the main lobby, to understand the transformational im-
pact which began with our campus expansion and capital campaign in 2005 and
continues today with Gibbons Commons and other cutting-edge initiatives. Saint
Agnes has been a cornerstone of Baltimore City health care for more than 150
years, and I am proud to support the organization as we face the future together.

OUR UNCOMMON
VISION
Saint Agnes leadership displayed uncommon foresight and vision in 2005 when
they made the bold choice to remain in the hospital’s present location and renew
the hospital’s commitment to mission and service in Southwest Baltimore. Just 10
years later, Saint Agnes has been transformed and is poised at the beginning of a
new era in community health and care.
Our hospital campus is a vibrant, state-of-the-art destination as a result of the
Beacon of Hope Capital Campaign and the successful campus expansion project.
The new Saint Agnes Senior Emergency Department, the first of its kind in Baltimore
and only the second in Maryland, is quickly becoming a model for hospitals
nationwide. And, beyond the traditional boundaries of our historic home, Gibbons
Commons and Saint Agnes Medical Group, Catonsville are leading the way in
innovative models of community care which reaches out — and reaches more
families along the way.
“I feel that we have achieved our vision. Saint Agnes has always had
an extremely talented medical staff and associates committed to our
mission, to our patients, and to each other. Now we have facilities
that match our mission.”
Bonnie Phipps, Group Operating Executive, SVP, Ascension Health
