Providence money to benefit local areas
Providence Health Care has announced that it provided almost $30
million to benefit residents of the San Fernando and Santa Clarita
Valleys in 2004.
The money was made possible through a program called the Emilie
Gamelin Program for Patient Assistance, named after the founder of
the Sisters of Providence. Much of it was spent on free medical care
for people with low incomes. Funds also benefited programs like
tattoo removal, school nurse programs and cancer outreach.
The company served nearly 100,000 San Fernando and Santa Clarita
residents in 2004 through these programs, and since 1999 its
community outreach spending has grown by 83 percent.
