about us
Health For All
We believe everyone deserves the absolute best care, no matter the circumstances.
For more than 160 years, our not-for-profit healthcare collective has set the health and well-being standard for our community. We continue to raise this standard every day, dutifully helping anyone in need.
This commitment isn’t solely about treating sickness, it’s about investing in health. It takes a collective approach — Providence can leverage our own network of doctors, hospitals, clinics, and trusted provider partners, to deliver on the whole care picture. This means we intervene earlier, improve outcomes, lower costs, and better the health of the entire community. Because healthcare isn’t a commodity service, it’s a community pursuit.
Healthcare today must go beyond the essentials of coverage and doctors' visits. Join us in our shared pursuit to care for one another equitably, recognize the cultural challenges in healthcare today, and improve outcomes for all.
Our Values
-
Compassion
Empathy matters. We serve humans, not faceless consumers, each of whom deserves our help and understanding.
-
Dignity
Treat all with respect. We recognize the inherent worth of every person, and work with clear purpose to put them on a path to wellness.
-
Justice
Fairness is human. We strive to remove the obstacles of oppression, treat all equitably, and provide access to healing in every way we can.
-
Integrity
Our primary purpose is to improve access to healthcare for all. We hold ourselves accountable to do the right things for the right reasons.
-
Excellence
Excellent care comes first. Convenience, speed, and cost are just a few of the pressures we feel in the consumer environment. While we must do our best to exceed these expectations, they must never hold precedence over the quality of service we provide.
We believe that the health of a community rests in the hearts, hands, and minds of its people. When we take care of each other, we tighten the bonds that connect and strengthen us all.
Humility, simplicity, charity. Above all, charity.

Our history
Through bravery, ingenuity, and faith, the Sisters of Providence built a network of hospitals, schools, orphanages, and shelters across the Pacific Northwest. For over 160 years, our community of caregivers has championed health as a human right. As we look forward to the future we hope to open the door of access to care more fully to our most underserved populations.
