Seton's Healthcare Family Mission is to "improve the health of those we serve with special concern for the poor and vulnerable. We are called to be a sign of God’s unconditional love for all and believe that all persons by their creation are endowed with dignity" (Seton, 2015). Seton's social workers are instrumental in cost containment for the elderly and vulnerable populations.

This system is meant to deal with children who need temporary care, but in this case is being used for children who need to be cared for long periods of time—specifically, more than a couple years.
