  • Ray of Light

    “Ray of Light,” the musical foundation of our Providence video, was written and performed by Los Angeles-based commercial singer-songwriter, Christopher Faizi, composer for Mattel's 'Have Fun' advertising campaign.

    The theme is inspired by a Baha'i prayer, captures the sense of mission, quest for excellence and ecumenical spirit of our organization and rather providentially found its way into our hands through our good friends at Eyeplay, the Seattle production company responsible for capturing the moving footage of Providence life that accompanies the piece.

    Together, music and image gracefully combine to convey the very essence of what makes Providence a vivid demonstration of the values and excellence modern Catholic health care offers. Enjoy.

  • The Providence Mission

    As people of Providence, we reveal God's love for all, especially the poor and vulnerable, through our compassionate service.

  • For the Good of The Cause

    ”Teamwork has become so much a part of the fabric of health care. Compassion and justice, serving the community, charity - that's something one doesn't do alone. That's something that's done by a team, and being part of a team."

  • To Be Human

    "For several reasons … hospice is built around a team."

    –Providence Everett Hospice Care Team

  • What We Need to Do

    "We're one of the few health systems in the nation that are using this interventional type of team, and our results have been very good."

    –Providence Portland Rapid Response Team

  • The Power of Providence

    "Supply costs within Providence, as in most health care organizations in the country, have been increasing five percent, seven, eight percent annually. We can't pass those cost increases on to our payers."

    –Supply Chain Management

    "… when our team is negotiating supply contracts, the power of Providence as a whole is much stronger than as individuals. And we're much stronger as a team."

    –Pharmacy Resource Council
