Expanding Care
to the Community
True to its promise to provide
medical care in the most costeffective
manner possible,
Providence Health Care has announced
the opening of several new outpatient
facilities in the Spokane region.
“The hospital is no longer the center
of the health care delivery system,”
says Michael Wilson, chief executive of
Providence ministries in Spokane and
Stevens counties. “To help patients experience
quality care in the most affordable
setting close to where they live and
work, it’s vital to provide more convenient
clinics outside the hospital setting,
and in a variety of locations. This is
central to our vision to answer the call
of those we serve to ‘Know Me, Care for
Me, Ease My Way.’ ”
Providence Urgent
Care–Hawthorne
551 E. Hawthorne at Newport Highway
Hours: 8 a.m.–8 p.m. Monday-Friday
and 9 a.m.–6 p.m. weekends.
Services: Routine urgent care, including
lab and X-ray imaging.
Providence Urgent Care–
5th & Division
(Coming January 2013!)
421 S. Division
Hours: 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Services: Urgent care, X-ray imaging,
lab, ultrasound and more.
Providence Valley Outpatient
Center (Coming in 2014!)
I-90 at Sullivan
Much more than an urgent care facility,
this multispecialty ambulatory care center
will house “everything except inpatient
beds,” says Wilson. Patients will
have access to outpatient surgery, cancer
treatment, a wide range of imaging services,
short-stay observation and sameday
care from a variety of specialists.
Providence is investing $44 million in
this new facility to serve Valley residents
and neighboring communities.
Partnering with Group
Health Cooperative
The outpatient expansion efforts
mentioned above are enhanced
through a clinical affiliation between
Providence Health Care and Group
Health physicians. “Both of our
organizations believe we can meet
patients’ needs and meet the new
demands of health care by coming
together and designing care delivery
processes that improve outcomes and
costs for all involved,” says Wilson.
“Our partnership shows patients
we’re putting their needs first.”
