Providence Releases 2020 Report Showcasing $1.7 Billion in Community Support – PRNewswire

Last year, Providence invested more than $1.7 billion in improving the health of its communities

Why Providence Addressed Each Key Initiative in 2020:

"The community health investment team responds to our Mission's call to serve," said Justin Crowe, senior vice president of community partnerships. "By generating resources for our community programs and partners, we're creating an ecosystem that amplifies the voices of our local communities and promotes health, grassroots advocacy and a culture of inter-connectedness."

The community investments include the costs of uncompensated care for Medicaid, free or low-cost care, and many other programs and initiatives focused on improving the health of our communities, increasing access to care and making care more affordable.

These intentional investments make it possible for people to live their healthiest lives and allow our communities to reinvest in other vital programs. Caring for our communities has never been more important. To see community investments by state, visit the Annual Report to Our Communities website to view regional reports.
