Providence’s nearly 170-year legacy of giving back to its communities is rooted in a tradition of caring for those in need, with compassion and in partnership with the people we serve. In the aftermath of the tragic Palisades Fire, the communities that we serve in southern California have found strength in unity. For the first time in 47 years, the Palisades Will Rogers 5K Run took a detour—held this year in Venice Beach due to fire damage in the Palisades. As title sponsor, our Providence Saint John's Health Center team was proud to support the event with a mobile care cart, providing essential supplies to runners before, during, and after the race. The proceeds raised from the event will go toward rebuilding Pacific Palisades Park & Community Center—a meaningful step forward for the neighborhood we’re honored to serve. Thank you to everyone who joined us to run and stand with our community in this time of need. 💙 #SaintJohnsHealthCenter #PalisadesFire #Community
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.

Patients want to be heard and understood, that's why we're transforming health care to better meet their needs. A dramatic increase in goals-of-care conversations has enhanced patient-centered care. Since 2016, documented conversations in ICUs have surged from 6.8% to 84.8% of patients. This success is driven by system-wide training and improved EHR documentation, ensuring that patient preferences and values are at the forefront of care decisions.
