Founded as Providence Hospitals in 1938 by the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, Providence Health's two full-service hospitals and numerous satellite practices maintain a true devotion to advanced clinical expertise and unmatched compassion. On February 2, 2016, Providence became part of the LifePoint Health network, and shortly thereafter, changed its name to Providence Health to better represent the full complement of its services. Driven by quality, compassion, and Christ, Providence treats the whole person- body, mind, and spirit.

Providence Health ranks the highest in Columbia for Patient Experience. The staff is focused on making sure our guests' stay is comfortable, and that our patients feel heard, and their needs are met.
