Recreation, Reflection, and Renewal

 

At Providence, our Mission of compassionate care means providing more than just medical care. It means addressing the wellbeing of each person by also focusing on social, emotional, and spiritual care. No matter what your beliefs, health and healing includes creating space and time for recreation, reflection, and renewal.

It might be as simple as being able to get a breath of fresh air outside your hospital room. Or it might be as meaningful as a chaplain's time spent with you when your family isn't able to visit.

The Greenhouse for Seniors at Providence Horizon House

Our Impact

Thanks to generous donors to Providence Alaska Foundation the health of our community has been impacted greatly.

A Bike for Seniors

The first Cycling Without Age tri-bike in Alaska was delivered to Providence Horizon House, helping senior residents feel the breeze on their cheeks during a summer bike ride. Thanks to advocacy by the local neighborhood, cyclists are now able to enjoy the new paved paths through the trees at Folker Park.

The Healing Garden at Providence Alaska Medical Center

Nestled in the backyard of Providence Alaska Medical Center, a natural space of healing was created for renewal and reflection. One patient shared their thanks by writing, "as a new chemotherapy patient, I was afraid I would be trapped in my room. I’m an active outdoorsman, and it was just a JOY to be able to walk through the beautiful garden. It was so good for my soul to be outside in nature, in a safe space, with beautiful flowers and gardens. THANKS for investing in this wonderful place!"

The Mary Troll PAWS Endowment

Since 2012, the Mary Troll Memorial Pet Assisted Wellness Service endowment has funded essential supplies and training for the beloved volunteer pet teams. Because who wouldn't feel better to see a tail wag at the side of your hospital bed?
