Mission and values
Our tradition of caring
Hear from our own caregivers about living the Providence Mission and core values.
Our caregivers embody the Providence Mission
People new to Providence are sometimes in awe of how mission-driven we are. It’s at the forefront of everything we do and all we are. Caregivers choose to work at Providence in order to fulfill their personal calling and do work that matters to them.
“Know me, care for me, ease my way”
Our Promise to care for all is steeped in tradition
When the Sisters arrived in the Pacific Northwest in 1856, they came to answer a call for help from a new pioneer community. They found many communities in need of service, and so with dedication to the Mission and collaboration with like-minded partners, their ministry grew to what is now a seven-state health system.
We continue the tradition of caring that the Sisters of Providence began more than 160 years ago.
