Community benefit investments are one way Providence lives its Mission. For generations, we’ve offered a caring hand to those with the greatest need in our community.
In the past year, we devoted millions in community benefit to make sustainable improvements in the health of our diverse communities throughout Washington.

For generations, Providence has partnered with people of goodwill to offer a caring hand of compassion. We collaborate with social service and government agencies, charitable foundations, community organizations, universities and many other partners to identify the greatest needs through community health needs assessments. Then our solutions are reflected in community health improvement plans.
On a cold December day in 1856, more than 30 years before Washington became a state, five Catholic nuns from Montreal arrived at the small settlement of Fort Vancouver on the banks of the Columbia River. While the sisters knew little about their destination, their mission was clear: serve the community’s unmet needs, particularly those of the poor.
Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart and four other Sisters of Providence quickly opened their humble home to orphans and the elderly. Thus began an amazing history of compassion and care across Washington, a legacy that has expanded into a five-state, not-for-profit health and services network with more than 60,000 employees.
