We are Providence, one of the largest not-for-profit health systems in the United States. Our Digital Innovation Group operates as both a healthcare startup and a technology incubator, building next-generation tools that give patients convenient access to care anywhere and anytime. Recent spin-outs such as DexCare and Praia Health demonstrate how we turn promising ideas into funded companies, and we invite leaders who want to shape the next wave of healthcare technology from the ground floor.
