Holiday Wishes

As 2020 comes to an end, I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to everyone in the Providence Care community. This year has brought its share of challenges but you have stood with us every step of the way. I am overwhelmed by the messages of support and donations we continue to receive; they truly mean the world to our staff, physicians, volunteers, patients, clients and residents.

While the holidays may look different this year, we’ve been given the opportunity to embrace new traditions with those closest to us. On behalf of everyone at Providence Care, I would like to wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy Christmas season.
