Alaska

Welcome to Alaska's 2023 Annual Report

For more than 120 years, our commitment to provide for the poor and vulnerable in Alaska has been unwavering. In 2023, Providence invested $65 million in total benefit to the communities we serve, including $19 million in free and discounted care.

Our support includes projects like Brother Francis Shelter Medical Respite, which provided more than 2,900 nights of healing to 135 clients in 2023. For many, having a safe space to recuperate from illness or injury can be the first step on the road to recovery. 

Another example is Kodiak Island’s Therapeutic Riding and Equine Assisted Therapy Program, which helps children build confidence and improve socially and emotionally through connection with horses. For the last 20 years, the program has provided therapeutic support to children with neurodiversity autism spectrum disorders, developmental delays, learning difficulties and physical delays. 

None of this work is possible without the opportunity to collaborate with people who share our vision. We are blessed and honored to live and work in communities where organizations exist that are dedicated to improving the lives of Alaskans. 

Thank you for continuing to trust us with your care and your loved ones’ care.
