The Saint John of God Brothers are members of an International Catholic Religious Order which traces its history back to the 16th century. We are inspired by our founder, Saint John of God, who cared for the poor, the sick and those on the margins of society in Granada, Spain.
 
Almost 500 years later, alongside our co-workers and volunteers we continue the work of Saint John of God, channelling his ancient legacy of love and compassion through modern health and social services across five continents.
