Why Give to Lights of Hope?
Give hope. For today and tomorrow.
At Providence Health Care, we stand by those facing their most challenging moments – physically, mentally, and emotionally. Exceptional and innovative care is our mission, but traditional funding falls short. That’s where you come in.
When you give to Lights of Hope, you illuminate the path for families during life’s toughest times. You empower caregivers to offer unwavering care and compassion to patients, residents, and their families.
In the darkest time of the year, these lights glimmer with holiday joy, offering hope when it’s needed most. Support those we serve and those who serve them.
Your Lights of Hope donation fuels groundbreaking research, delivers compassionate patient care, and enriches the lives of long-term care residents. Your gift saves and transforms lives.
To patients, residents, families, caregivers, and researchers, your gift to Lights of Hope means everything.
Thank you.

“Because of Koko, every day I got a little better”
How a dog the size of a teacup helped remove this Vancouverite from the grips of depression and substance use.
“When they wheeled him into the operating room, we didn’t know if we’d ever see him again.”
Jamie was a healthy, active college student. On a wilderness hike, he sprained his knee. Days later, he was on a ventilator in an induced coma on the precipice between life and death.
