We understand that the impact of heart disease is greater in marginalized communities. Genetics plays a part, but unequal access to great health care is also a factor. At Providence, we respect and support the racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexual and spiritual identities of each of our patients. We are deeply committed to making sure everyone in our diverse communities has equal access to the best heart care. To do this, we offer location-specific services that help meet our patients’ needs. This includes translation for non-English-speaking patients, telehealth and transportation assistance. And we never turn a patient away, regardless of their ability to pay. Instead, we work harder to make sure every patient is treated equally and with dignity – whoever you are, and wherever you’re at.

As a patient at Providence, you belong to one of the largest community-based networks for heart care in the United States. This shared network includes award-winning physicians, scientists, researchers and caregivers across 51 hospitals in seven states. The power of this network, combined with the expertise of your local team, means you’re getting the best, most compassionate care. Our network is one of the reasons 400,000 patients like you choose Providence for their heart care every year.

Providence is proud to be a leader in the advancement of cardiac and vascular therapies. Our researchers were the first to pioneer emergency surgery to repair heart arteries when treating a patient having a heart attack. This has helped change the way heart attacks are treated around the world – it’s now much less invasive. We also participate in national cardiovascular data registries to continually improve outcomes and patient care. Every day, our doctors and scientists learn more about preventing and treating heart disease. This translates to better care – and a better life – for you and your loved ones.
