Northern California
Welcome to Northern California's 2023 Annual Report
Across California, Providence is bringing to life our vision of health for a better world. By tapping the expertise of community partners, we focus on reducing health disparities as we address our neighbors’ challenges. Together we seek innovative and compassionate ways to meet a range of needs.
In 2023, Providence invested $186 million in community benefit across Northern California. Targeted investments supported these and many other programs:
- $148 million to cover the unpaid costs of Medi-Cal and other means-tested government programs.
- $23 million in community health improvement and strategic partnerships, including programs to support those suffering from substance use disorders.
- $10.2 million in free and discounted care for the uninsured and underinsured.
I hope you will take time to learn about the extraordinary work our community health teams accomplish in our 2023 annual report. It’s an honor to be a part of an organization that truly believes health is a human right, and seeks like-hearted partners to make effective, enduring change.
