Northern California

Welcome to Northern California's 2022 Annual Report

At Providence, our commitment goes well beyond the high-quality, compassionate care we provide in our hospitals and clinics to include the many ways we reach into the communities we serve. Last year, our family of organizations across Northern California worked with like-hearted partners to expand access to care, food, shelter and other critical resources.

To help address these priorities, Providence invested $140 million in community benefit throughout Northern California in 2022. Our community investments supported many programs, including:

  • Community Resource Centers that offer referrals, employment information, transportation assistance, food security and nutrition programs, parent and family support, and community connection.  
  • Supportive housing initiatives that provide safe, affordable housing to underserved communities across Northern California. 
  • Mobile dental clinics that offer essential care to the youngest and most vulnerable members of our communities. 

I encourage you to learn more about the many ways Providence is investing in the health of Northern California residents in our 2022 annual report. We are grateful for the opportunity to care for you and our communities and equally proud of the work we’re doing with community partners to achieve health for a better world.
