The “Adopt a Family” program is a long-standing tradition of Providence Hospital. It was established by the founders, the Daughters of Charity; and is funded by the employees and physicians of Providence. The program provides poor and vulnerable families with gifts and other necessities during the Christmas season. Visit the Providence website (http://www. provhosp. org) for more details.

Providence Health Foundation President/CEO, Bob Hutson states, “Each year, Providence gives Christmas gifts to more than 110 poor and needy children and has received more requests this year than ever before. This contribution will help reach more families affected by today’s economic challenges.”
