As part of our commitment to patient-centered care, we support you along your entire health journey – from infancy forward. Our patient Brian Forth had his first heart surgery as a baby at 18 months old in California. As an adult living in western Washington, Brian did his research and chose Providence for his heart surgery at age 50. For patients like Brian, our Providence Adult and Teen Congenital Heart (PATCH) Program helps people move more easily in their lifelong congenital heart disease journey – from pediatric to adult care. The PATCH Program is nationally recognized for its comprehensive, team-based care.

Our world-class specialty providers offer care in unique situations for people of all ages. This includes our pediatric congenital heart disease program, which brings together specialists in cardiology, cardiac surgery and cardiac anesthesiology. When moms-to-be need heart care, we work closely with our maternal-fetal medicine specialists. We provide care both to pregnant patients with heart disease and to pregnant patients who have recently learned their child may have a heart defect.

When our patient Melissa Faucher was a young woman, she was told the congenital heart disease she’d had since she was an infant would probably prevent her from being able to have children. But when her cardiology team realized how important motherhood was to Melissa, they did everything in their power to support her and worked closely with her obstetrics care team. Melissa is now the mother of four healthy children.

At Providence, we make sure each of our patients has access to the best heart care. As part of that commitment, we have three outreach locations, so patients can receive care closer to home.

We value, respect and support the racial, ethnic, religious, spiritual, gender and sexual identities of each member of our diverse community. In keeping with our Mission, Providence offers financial assistance programs that provide free and low-cost care to those who are eligible. We aim to treat every patient equally and with dignity – whoever you are, and wherever you are in your journey.

Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital is the only children’s hospital in the region. We are part of the Providence Heart Institute in Spokane, which features world-class cardiologists, electrophysiologists, cardiovascular and vascular surgeons, and specialty trained nurses, therapists and advanced care teams throughout the Inland Northwest. Every cardiovascular patient at Providence benefits from our local experts, with extended connectivity to a collaborative network that includes award-winning physicians, scientists, researchers and caregivers across 51 hospitals in seven states. The power of our comprehensive network is one of the reasons more than 60,000 people choose Providence Heart Institute of Spokane for their heart and vascular care each year.
