From a small wood-frame hospital in 1875, to a leading medical center today, Providence St. Vincent in Portland, Oregon, has grown with the community it serves. As we mark this 150-year milestone, we honor the Sisters of Providence who started it all—and the caregivers and donors shaping its future. Here’s to 150 years of healing and innovation! #Providence150 #CommunityCare #HealthCareInnovation
About us
Every day, 119,000 compassionate caregivers serve patients and communities through Providence St. Joseph Health, a national, Catholic, not-for-profit health system, driven by a belief that health is a human right. Rooted in the founding missions of the Sisters of Providence and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange, courageous women ahead of their time who brought health care and other social services to the American West when it was still a rugged, untamed frontier, we share a singular commitment to improve the health of all. From our earliest days, we’ve met new challenges by pioneering new solutions. Today, with 51 hospitals, 829 clinics and a comprehensive range of services, we strive to meet the needs of communities across Alaska, California, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington through a diverse family of Catholic, other faith-based and mission-driven secular organizations. Now, as we face a new frontier—a changing health care landscape—we draw upon their pioneering and compassionate spirit to plan for the next century of health for a better world, especially for the poor and vulnerable.

Earlier this year, Logan Vincent, MD, etched her name in the history books when she became the first female interventional cardiologist to perform a transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement through the internal jugular vein. This innovative approach offers patients a less invasive alternative to open-heart surgery and traditional groin-access procedures—allowing for faster recovery and fewer complications. With fewer than 50 of these procedures performed worldwide, this milestone highlights our role as a leader in advancing cardiovascular care and clinical research.
