For more than a century, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett has embodied the mission and spirit of the Sisters of Providence and practiced its core tenet—compassionate service—to meet the vital needs of the community it serves. From the time it opened its first hospital in 1905, an old Everett hotel converted to accommodate just 75-beds, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett has always striven to deliver the best available healthcare to patients, while also serving as beacon of hope and grace for those who need it most—the poor, the disadvantaged and the marginalized who require medical care. Today, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett serves more than 300,000 patients each year on its two campuses—Colby and Pacific—and operates the second busiest Emergency Room in Washington State. With a broad array of primary and specialty care services, Providence is recognized as one of the nation’s top hospitals and one of our state’s premier healthcare providers. At the heart of one of the Pacific Northwest’s fastest growing population centers, Providence serves residents from throughout Snohomish County, as well as parts of King, Island, Skagit and Whatcom Counties. As it celebrates its proud legacy and launches its second century of service to the community, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett has begun to implement its exciting plans to construct a state-of-the-art, 680,000 square foot Medical Tower in downtown Everett. This extraordinary and historic initiative by Providence will consolidate most hospital services on the Colby Campus and enable Providence to both improve care delivery and sustain its core mission of service to the community. The new Medical Tower—a $500 million healthcare investment in the community—will bring increased capacity and quality across a range of clinical services: emergency medicine, diagnostic imaging, cardiovascular care, surgical care services, orthopedics, oncology services, intensive care, and neurosciences. Demonstrating a deep commitment to Everett and Snohomish County, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett and Providence Health & Services will provide a substantial portion of the funding for the new Medical Tower in one of the largest private infrastructure investments in the region’s history. As Providence finalizes plans to complete construction of the Tower, as well as equip it with the latest in medical technology, Providence General Foundation seeks to engage the broader community in a partnership that will help to bring the new Medical Tower to fruition. Specifically, Providence General Foundation is asking the community to partner with the Medical Center by contributing a small portion of the total cost of the project—through a major, multi-million dollar fund raising campaign. This effort—The Campaign for Providence—is the largest fund raising initiative ever undertaken in Snohomish County and will help to underpin healthcare excellence for the patients Providence serve. |
