History
Providence Care was founded in 1861 by the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul to meet the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of its patients with respect, dignity and compassion.
The centre has three sites. The budget and range of programs and services are a result of government-directed hospital restructuring that consolidated rehabilitation programs, specialized mental health services, and forensics at the Providence Care Corporation.
