Providence Health Services in Washington was born in 1856, with the arrival of five nuns, the Sisters of Providence, from Montreal at Fort Vancouver on the banks of the Columbia River. Beginning by housing orphans and the elderly, they soon began building and opening hospitals throughout Washington. Through the years their network of small hospitals expanded into what is now a five-state, not-for-profit health and services network with more than 60,000 employees.
This hospital opened in 1919 and was purchased in 1940 by the Dominican Sisters who, in 1993, transferred sponsorship of the hospital to the Sisters of Providence. Today the hospital offers most of the health care facilities and technology one would expect to find in a larger centre, right in the small city of Colville.
