Nursing Center of Excellence
Compassionate care begins with having the right training, tools and people in place. The Nursing Center for Excellence helps ensure that happens.
What Inspires You?
Looking in a patient’s eyes to ask “what do you really need today?” That’s empathy. That’s nursing at Providence St. Joseph Hospital.

Specialty Training
Goal: $1.5 million
Whether it’s emergency, surgery, critical care, cardiology, oncology, or any other area, specialty training is vital to keep nurses up-to-date. With donor support, we can help continue their education through training workshops, seminars and conferences. 
Technological Tools
Goal: $4.5 million
Healthcare technology innovations are best used by skilled and caring nurses. While the best patient care always starts with compassion and a strong clinical aptitude, the ability to create high-quality, caring experience is often enhanced using advanced medical technology and devices. 
Continuous Education
Goal: $2.5 million
Nursing Excellence means continuous education. Patients receive better care and clinical outcomes are improved when the majority of a hospital’s nurses have at least a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, with an increasing need for nurses with a master’s or doctorate degree. 
A donation makes a difference. Here’s proof.
