Providence Hospital is an acute care, community hospital serving the residents of the District of Columbia. Chartered by President Abraham Lincoln in 1861, it’s the city’s oldest hospital in continuous operation. A member facility of Ascension Health, the nation’s largest Catholic and nonprofit health care system, Providence Hospital is one of three Catholic hospitals in the nation’s capital.
Providence Hospital has a number of specialized centers of expertise. Seton House offers comprehensive behavioral health services, treating both mental health problems and addiction issues. Carroll Manor is a nursing home and 240 bed rehabilitation center for older Americans, with dedicated associates and a beautiful living environment.
The hospital also has two family medical centers, the Perry Family Health Center and the Fort Lincoln Family Medical Center. Both centers are staffed with family practice physicians and provide services for all age ranges, from infants to senior citizens. Both centers also offer comprehensive care and focus on preventative services. The hospital also partners with the DC Office of Aging to offer free fitness, nutrition and other classes to DC residents age 60 and older.

Physicians at the Center saw more than 15,000 patients last year, including 1500 new obstetrical patients.
