At the Saint Marianne Cope Museum, we celebrate a woman who was a pioneer in holistic healthcare. Her innovations in hygiene and hospital care, patients’ rights and whole mind, body and spirit healing, are especially relevant today. The compassion, hope, beauty and dignity given to her patients in the hospitals she administered is the foundation that we build upon through providing support services for people experiencing life’s challenges.

The Sister Kathleen Osbelt Center of Francis House uses our experience as a social-model of community care for the dying and our Franciscan values to increase awareness, educate, serve, and support persons with terminal illness and those who care for them. Our core values of compassion, acceptance, respect and dignity guide and inform our care and outreach. We offer community education aligned with empowering a healthy and natural dying and grieving process, and to support compassionate care for people on the journey at the end-of-life.
