About Us
Honoring Our Tradition of Extraordinary Care, Guided by the Sisters of Providence
At Providence Sacred Heart, we have been privileged to serve our community since 1887, driven by a deep commitment to extraordinary care, a legacy initiated by the Sisters of Providence. We passionately believe that extraordinary care begins with extraordinary people.
Over the years, our dedication to you has led to our expansion, boasting a capacity of over 644 beds, making us one of the Northwest's largest hospitals. However, what truly sets us apart is our remarkable team. When you choose Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center, you are not simply choosing a hospital; you are choosing a community of over 800 medical specialists and primary care doctors. These experts are here to guide you on your healthcare journey, upholding the values of the Sisters of Providence and ensuring that you receive the highest quality of care possible.

When submitting a complaint to the Joint Commission about an accredited organization, you may either provide your name and contact information or submit your complaint anonymously. Providing your name and contact information enables the Joint Commission to inform you about the actions taken in response to your complaint, and also to contact you should additional information be needed. It is the Joint Commission's policy to treat your name as confidential information and not to disclose it to any other party. However, it may be necessary to share the complaint with Providence Health & Services in the course of a complaint investigation.
Joint Commission policy forbids an accredited organization from taking retaliatory actions against employees for having reported a patient safety or quality of care concern to the Joint Commission.
