In 1994, Saint John Hospital in Leavenworth became an affiliate of Providence to further expand regional health care delivery. The mission continues to focus on Providence's special identity as a Catholic hospital while expanding its service area and developing new opportunities to provide health care. These services are supported by advanced technology and the expertise of the Medical Staff representing diverse specialties. Two medical office buildings and Providence Place, a 90-bed nursing facility, are also located on the campus. Through diverse health education and screening programs offered year-round, the Medical Center focuses on prevention and early detection of health problems as well as diagnosis and treatment.
Programs range from childbirth classes to breast cancer detection to seminars for older adults.
Responsive to concerns about the cost of health care and recognized for cost-effective quality care, the Medical Center participates in several major managed care plans. In the spirit of its founders, Providence Medical Center recognizes that caring people are the invaluable link in health care delivery.
