An appropriate description for 2016 may be, “Year of transition.” We both joined Providence last year and immersed ourselves in its unique culture and traditions while quickly learning about the important priorities of our caregivers, patients and donors. Your support as we settled into our new roles has been invaluable and we want to thank you for your all your kindness.

Providence also celebrated our formal partnership with St. Joseph Health in 2016 – a union that has strengthened our organization and boosted our future opportunities to effect positive change in the health and well-being of our communities.

Once again our donors demonstrated their inspiring commitment to our ministries by contributing $22.9 million in support of the high quality, compassionate care that defines our purpose and our brand. More than 170 years ago our foundresses presented a vision for community-supported health care that blends the passion of our friends and neighbors with the calling of our caregivers. More than ever, this model amplifies the noble intentions of our donors whose continued support is so vital to our success.

On behalf of the caregivers and patients at each of our ministries, we thank you for your generosity and your inspiring support for our Mission.
