Providence Stevens County Health Systems Overview
Providence Health and Services operates 2 hospitals and 4 clinics in Northeast Washington. Our system draws from a population base of about 40,000 people spread out over a wide geographical area that stretches across three counties along the Canadian border. Residents train in three small towns in Stevens County: Colville, Chewelah, and Kettle Falls. Providence Mount Carmel Hospital and Providence St. Joseph’s Hospital are critical access hospitals. Mount Carmel is consistently recognized by state and national associations for its excellence of care. The hospital is also designated a “baby and breast feeding friendly” facility. Full spectrum family doctors attend all deliveries in the hospital and cover all surgical obstetric needs for the county. Residents participate in all deliveries at the hospitals.
Our medical staff consists of 30+ providers, mainly Family Medicine but also including general surgery, urology, orthopedics, podiatry, internal medicine, diabetes education and radiology. Visiting physicians provide resident teaching and patient care in nephrology, cardiology, dermatology and oncology. Advanced Practice Providers form an important part of the team providing comprehensive care to people of all ages.
