Providence Care is a teaching hospital affiliated with Queen's University located in Kingston, Ontario that was built in 1861. Providence Care is a not-for-profit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and sponsored by the Catholic Health Corporation of Ontario. The Worship Centre overlooks Lake Ontario and was designed with input from faith leaders from the Kingston, Ontario community. Providence Care has 585 patient beds. Providence Care is a partner within Kingston's University hospitals in the Southeast LHIN, delivering health care, conducting research and training health care professionals.

History

Providence Care was founded on December 13, 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.^[1]

The centre has three sites. The budget and range of programs and services are a result of government-directed OHIP hospital restructuring that consolidated rehabilitation programs, specialized mental health services, and forensics at the Providence Care Corporation.
