Providence National Foundation harnesses the power of philanthropy to help solve some of our nation’s most complex and systemic health issues—to propel meaningful progress toward making world-class health services accessible for all.
Providence believes health is a human right and recognizes that long-standing inequities and social determinants have led to health disparities in our diverse communities. Our donors share this belief and see innovation and research as catalysts to clinical excellence. They know that world-class caregivers, who represent and understand the patients they serve, can offer better patient care. And they know that mental health and wellness are essential for every person to live their healthiest life.
If these issues are also important to you, we invite you to join us. With your philanthropy, together we can positively impact the health of our communities for generations to come.
Laurie C. Kelley
Chief Philanthropy Officer
