Give Where It's Needed Most

 

Your gift to the Area of Greatest Need allows our Foundation and Hospital to respond quickly to our community's most pressing health care needs. These needs might include a new piece of medical equipment, restocking the clothes closet in the Emergency Department, education and training for our caregivers, or flu shots for those who couldn't otherwise afford them.

Our Mission

It's Providence's mission to serve the poor and most vulnerable. Your unrestricted gift help us provide care for those that need it most. 

Emergencies

We're able to react quickly when costly equipment must be replaced, a community need arises or a program or service needs to expand. 

Equipment and Programs

This fund gives us the flexibility to invest in not-otherwise-funded technology or programs.

Our Philanthropic Needs


  • Advancing Technology

    The Area of Greatest Need Fund allows us to upgrade, maintain or purchase the most advanced equipment and technology for our growing population. When a medical team comes to us with a request that can save or enhance lives, we’re able to quickly get them the tools they need to do that. Often, these needs arise without the time for a new hospital budget cycle or fundraising campaign.
  • Community Outreach

    The Area of Greatest Need Fund supports the health of our community, beyond our hospital and clinic walls. It might equip a mountain rescue team with medical monitoring equipment, help pay for mental health counselors at Boys & Girls Club camps or provide basic health care through programs that reach the most vulnerable. This fund allows us to be nimble and ready meet a community need.

Going the distance for first-class heart care

Jim O’Neill was feeling off. He couldn’t walk more than four or five minutes without needing to sit. His primary care doctor told him it was likely from long COVID and there weren’t many treatment options. But that diagnosis didn’t seem right to Jim.
