As the Sisters of Providence did when they first arrived in the Northwest 150 years ago, we rely on support from the community to ensure excellence and compassionate care.
Today, that tradition of collaboration continues. Bold leadership, strategic thinking and community support are helping to make the initiatives of Providence Medical Foundations successful. The Providence Together capital campaign will enhance research, prevention, diagnosis and care for some of the most pressing health care challenges of our time – cancer, heart disease and neurological disorders – and to strengthen our care for medically fragile children.
