The Sisters of Providence first brought health care to Nome during the Gold Rush. Their pioneering spirit set the standard for modern health care in Alaska, and formed the foundation for Providence’s growth as the state’s leading health care provider.
Today, Providence serves Alaskans in communities large and small from Anchorage to Kodiak, Seward to the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, and now in the City of Valdez. Providence Health System in Alaska is the state’s largest private employer with more than 3,600 full and part-time employees working for the organization in 13 facilities statewide.
The core business for Providence Health System in Alaska is acute care with medical centers in Anchorage, Kodiak and Seward, and statewide tertiary care provided at Providence Alaska Medical Center, Alaska’s largest hospital.
