Mission

Providence Health System was founded on the principle of service to others. Our health system, locally and nationally, believes in healthcare that leaves no one behind. Each year, we provide millions of dollars of charity care for those who have little or no financial resources to maintain their good health. In addition, we take our commitment to persons who are poor and vulnerable beyond our healthcare facilities, through services to people in need in communities such as Mobile Terrace and Bayou La Batre.

Recognizing the relationship between food insecurity and health, Providence Hospital developed a partnership with Feeding America and a local food bank. The organizations work together on a range of programs, including community gardens, outreach and enrollment efforts, educational opportunities and more. Providence Hospital has also engaged in other outreach projects such as: building a Senior Center in an underserved community, establishing service centers for northwest Mobile’s Hispanic community, delivering disaster relief and ongoing services in south Mobile County, and supporting Ozanam Charitable Pharmacy in its mission to deliver prescription medicines to those in need.

At Providence, we believe that healing is ultimately the work of God and that our involvement in health care is a participation in the healing ministry of Christ. We believe that the care and services we provide must respond in an integrated, holistic way to the physical, psychological and spiritual needs of persons, and our associates believe it too. Providence provides numerous ways to give back to the community.
