Nestled within the beautiful grounds of a garden, the Providence Center is located at the Sisters' former convent in the center of Sacred Heart's campus. In 1999, renovation of both the building and the grounds drew upon the spiritual wholeness which the Sisters made present.

An inviting environment of peace welcomes visitors as they enter the Center. The surroundings are calm and spiritual in design.

Areas conducive to prayer and meditation, private conferences, individual and group education as well as a convenient, quiet retreat from the clinical atmosphere of the Medical Center are offered here. The outdoor garden space reflects the same qualities. While the Center has a Christian heritage, it welcomes persons of other faiths.

Providence Center brings service, support and education to patients, their families and the people of the Inland Northwest. Resources for study and research are available through a multi-media library. Reading rooms and resource materials on a wide variety of faith-based healthcare subjects such as faith, meditation, prayer, touch, support of the dying, grief and creative expression are offered. On-site staff supports the needs of visitors and orients them to the surroundings as well as resources and referral services.

Seminars, workshops and conferences on the topic of faith and its role in healing are facilitated by the Providence Center. It is a regional hub for studying faith and health and providing faith-based perspectives on healthcare ethics.
