New look, same compassionate care

In February 2021, we began to transition signage on our campuses to a new brand. The new brand was created to unify our diverse family of ministries. The St. Joseph Health cross and colors, combined with the name Providence, represent a symbol of unity while celebrating our strong heritage.

The word “providence” in various spiritual traditions means God’s compassionate care. Although we are now Providence Mission Hospital, it does not represent any change in ownership or management locally, but simply a step toward brand unification across the system — one of the largest health networks in the country. We remain committed to providing the same compassionate, high-quality care our community deserves.

A unified brand will make it easier for our community to recognize which ministries and partners are part of our comprehensive network of care. It will tie our clinical work together and assist us in recruiting the biggest hearts and best minds into our organization. Most importantly, this new brand will allow us to be more effective advocates for value-based health care reform and will strengthen our voice for those who are poor and vulnerable.
