Oregon
Welcome to Oregon's 2023 Annual Report
One of the reasons I joined Providence a decade ago is the organization’s commitment to serving all members of our community, especially the vulnerable. In my new leadership role in Providence Oregon, I am proud to highlight the work we have done together this past year in meeting the needs of our community.
In 2023, our network of organizations in Oregon worked in close partnership with community members to ensure that essential resources – such as health care, food and shelter – were more readily available to the people of our state. Providence ministries and affiliates provided an impressive $306 million towards community benefit initiatives in Oregon.
These targeted investments include $44.4 million in free and low-cost care, $19.8 million in community health services and $11.3 million in subsidized care. We’ve helped people find childcare and permanent housing – and we’ve connected community organizations with vital data resources to help them enhance the impact of their programs.
I invite you to look through the stories of Providence's key investments in Oregon's well-being, outlined in our comprehensive 2023 annual report. I hope you share the deep sense of gratitude on behalf of our caregivers and communities. By our own dedication and through working with others, we are making real progress toward health for a better world.

Chief Executive, Providence Oregon
