About Us
Providence St. Vincent Medical Foundation connects generous donors with Providence St. Vincent Medical Center to advance health and wellness in our community. We are the bridge between you and Providence caregivers who work every day to improve health for the people they serve.
Investing in Our Community

Walk into our hospital and look around. Every caregiver you see - every doctor, every nurse, every cook, every custodian, every volunteer - is committed to our patients. Providence's promise to "Know me, care for me, ease my way" is central to how we operate.
We cannot tackle this work alone. Our founders, the Sisters of Providence, gathered the support of people like you to meet urgent community needs. Together, they built schools, orphanages and Oregon’s first permanent hospital, Providence St. Vincent.
Today we admit more than 30,000 patients each year. More than 80,000 people come to us for emergency care and 34,000 come for healing surgeries. More babies begin their lives here than any other place in Oregon. We are home to renowned institutes for heart and neurological care.
Your Impact
Providence St. Vincent Medical Foundation raises funds to improve and expand health care for our community. Through donor gifts, we support programs and services offered by Providence St. Vincent Medical Center. Our ability to achieve excellence relies heavily on the generosity of donors like you.
