Our vision, Health for a Better World, is driven by a belief that health is a human right. Every person deserves the chance to live their healthiest life.
At Providence, we recognize that long-standing inequities and systemic injustices exist in the world. This has led to health disparities among communities that have been marginalized because of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, religion or socioeconomic status.
Each year, Providence serves more than 6 million people of every walk of life. We value each member of our diverse communities for their identities, journeys and experiences. And we commit to doing the personal and institutional work needed to live the values of Providence, which call us to welcome all and serve one another with respect and dignity.
Providence is putting in the personal and institutional work needed to live our values, speak up against injustice and prevent further harm. In 2021, the organization made a commitment to invest $50 million over five years to reduce health disparities and achieve health equity. Providence is working to create robust partnerships with our communities, building needed infrastructure, ensuring caregivers reflect the demographics of the people we serve, and embedding health equity as a strategic priority across the organization.
Beginning in AY26-27, Providence GME provided support for our residents and faculty to access the AMA GME Course Catalog that includes the following curriculum topics related to health equity and social determinants of health:
