Ways To Give

Providence was built on philanthropy. As a not-for-profit health system, led by Mother Joseph, the Sisters of Providence built the first hospital in Nome more than 100 years ago with donations from gold miners. The excellent care that people receive at Providence is due, in large part, to the support we continue to receive from the community.
