Providence

Welcome to Providence's 2024 Annual Report

For nearly 170 years, Providence has been dedicated to supporting communities across the seven states we serve. We have always believed in the power of collaboration, recognizing that strong partnerships are essential to our vision of health for a better world.

As we focus on our core operations of delivering high-quality, compassionate care, we rely on partners in local communities to help us get upstream so we can address the social factors that affect health, especially in communities experiencing high levels of health disparities.

At the heart of this collaboration is our community benefit programs. Every year, our family of organizations identifies unmet community needs and responds with strategic contributions and partnerships. Through this work, we aim to meet basic health needs, remove barriers to health, build resilient communities and find innovative ways to serve those who are most vulnerable.

In 2024, Providence ministries and affiliates provided $1.9 billion in community benefit programs. This includes free and discounted care, uncompensated and subsidized care, and other community health activities.

One of these vital programs, Medicaid, is a lifeline for millions of individuals, including seniors, children, pregnant patients, those with disabilities and veterans. We are grateful to everyone in our communities who has joined us in advocating for continued funding and expansion of this program. Together, we are helping to ensure more people have access to needed care.

I invite you to explore our 2024 Annual Report to Our Communities and hope you are as inspired by it as I am. The stories within highlight the significant contributions we have made to care for our communities and show how we are working with other organizations to provide a critical safety net for those most in need.

Thank you to all our caregivers and community partners for helping us make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
