About Us

Providence Community Health Foundation connects generous donors with Providence programs and services in southern Oregon to advance health and wellness in our community. We are the bridge between you and Providence caregivers working every day to save and improve people’s lives.

Investing In Our Community

Our donors help bring high-quality care and up-to-date technology to southern Oregon residents. Without philanthropic support, these critical programs that advance our commitment to excellence would struggle.  It is because of deep community investment that health for a better world is possible in Oregon.

Donors provided substantial support for Oregon's first Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery, bringing patients surgery that is less invasive and less painful, with fewer complications and faster recoveries. Donors to our breast center provide patients with services to help them through their cancer journey.  Generous donations bought equipment that makes breast surgery faster, more comfortable and accurate. BirthPlace contributors purchased equipment ensuring that babies born at Providence Medford get a strong start in life. Most recently, donors provided support for temporary housing for Providence caregivers who lost their homes to wildfires.
