❄️ Headed to the mountains? We’ve got you covered! ⛷️🏔️

As winter adventures kick off, we’re proud to share Providence has donated nine beds to support safety and care at Mt. Spokane Ski & Snowboard Park and Lookout Pass Ski and Recreation Area.

These beds will help ensure that anyone who needs a little extra care after a day on the slopes has a comfortable place to rest. It’s all part of our commitment to keeping our community healthy—on and off the mountain.

New Year, New Era for Heart Care

Construction started today at Providence Heart Institute in Spokane! Thanks to donors who gave $10 million toward this transformation, we’re bringing:

✅ A dedicated pediatric catheterization lab
✅ Advanced technology for better outcomes
✅ Welcoming spaces for patients and families

These upgrades mean world-class care close to home—so families don’t have to travel as far and caregivers have the tools to deliver exceptional care. Providence is building the future of heart health right here in the Inland Northwest.

🏆 We’re honored to be named High Performing by U.S. News & World Report for Stroke Care.

This recognition reflects the incredible teamwork at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center. Every second matters in stroke care—and our caregivers deliver rapid, compassionate treatment that saves lives.

Emergency Department nurse Daryn shared:
"One patient arrived unable to speak or move. Thanks to quick action and collaboration across teams, she walked and spoke again months later. I was in disbelief and so proud to know our work gave her a chance at recovery."

At Providence, every patient matters—and this award proves Sacred Heart Medical Center is the best place to give and receive care.

Across all four of our local ministries, we came together to share something special: a holiday meal for every caregiver, on every shift.

Our incredible Food & Nutrition team spent months planning and preparing to make sure no one missed out on a warm, festive meal—because caring for those who care for others is what the season is all about.

Thank you to every team member who made this possible, and to our caregivers who live out our mission every day.
