Vision and Purpose
Vision
Exceptional care. For everyone. In every critical moment. Without exception.
Purpose
To inspire a visionary community of donors and volunteers to support Providence Healthcare in advancing life-changing rehabilitation and long-term-care programs, providing state-of-the-art facilities, pioneering breakthrough research, and ensuring equitable care to all.
Our New Brand
Founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1857, Providence Healthcare—now part of the Unity Health Toronto network—has a storied legacy of compassionate care. To honour its roots, we are incorporating Unity Health’s signature wing symbol—representing both an angel and a dove—as a tribute to the Sisters’ founding mission of caring for all. The vertical elements in the design symbolize potential and growth, reflecting our ongoing commitment to progress and hope.
