You have the power to build healthier communities and a healthier world for everyone.
At Providence Swedish, we are proud of our long history of caring for the people in every community we serve. In fact, we were founded over a century ago with a mandate to provide the best care for every single person who comes through our doors.
Along with the entire family of Providence organizations, we believe that civic engagement is central to our mission and that on Election Day — Tuesday, Nov. 5 — we all have an opportunity to play a role in the well-being of our communities. While we do not endorse any candidate or party, we do believe it’s vital to address key issues that influence our lives and health, particularly the lives and health of our most vulnerable and those in underserved communities.
Every one of us deserves access to the best, affordable health care, food and housing security, clean air and water, a healthy planet and the availability of critical behavioral health care services.
