In the face of rapidly changing healthcare, our commitment to our Mission to care for everyone remains unchanged.
This ministry greatly depends on partnering with others in the community who are equally committed to doing good and improving the health of all. Together with community partners we conduct community health assessments to understand what our community needs are. Then with our partners, we identify the greatest unmet needs among the people in the communities we serve. These include lack of access to affordable care; lack of access to mental health services; poverty and homelessness; and barriers to healthy behaviors and disease prevention.
Providence was formed by the journeys of courageous Catholic Sisters who sought to meet the needs of the communities they served. These communities of women religious which began our tradition of caring include the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sisters of the Holy Cross. Two congregations in particular – the Sisters of Providence and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange – had major roles in establishing and guiding the health system Providence is today.
In 1912, a group of Sisters of St. Joseph came from Illinois to Eureka, Calif. to establish a Catholic school began expanding their services into healthcare. After serving Northern California, the Sisters expanded into Southern California, relocating their motherhouse to Orange and becoming the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange.
After opening St. Joseph Hospital in Orange in 1929, they purchased Fullerton General Hospital in 1931, which was transformed and reopened in 1957 as St. Jude Hospital. In 1994, the Sisters obtained ownership of Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, and later expanded to include a Laguna Beach campus. Beyond Orange County, the Sisters added St. Mary Hospital in Apple Valley, Calif. to their ministry in 1992.
Further growth occurred in 2016, when Providence Health & Services (founded by the Sisters of Providence) joined with St. Joseph Health to establish Providence St. Joseph Health. The health system combines the two systems to strengthen the Mission across seven Western states.
Today, Providence carries forward the legacy of these pioneers by reimagining the future of healthcare delivery and improving the health of individuals and communities across seven Western states. The Providence family of organizations remains rooted in its Mission to serve all, especially those who are poor and vulnerable, and committed to fulfilling its vision of Health for a Better World.
