About Us
A healthy community can exist all around us, not just when you visit a health care provider or hospital. When you give through Providence Alaska Foundation, your gift impacts the health of your family, friends, neighbors, and any one in your Alaska community needing care when it matters most. Thank you for creating health for a better Alaska.
Investing In Our Community
Our world looks a lot different today than when the Sisters of Providence arrived in Nome in 1902. But our Mission to provide compassionate care for those most vulnerable in Alaska hasn't changed. You are our partners in that Mission.
When you make a gift, you are investing in the current and future health of our community as your gift stays right here in Alaska. Providence is grateful to be an integral community partner with many organizations across our state. It allows us to strategically plan initiatives driven by our expert professionals and care providers to address critical health situations we experience living or visiting here. Thank you for your partnership and investment in this work!
