Providence Heart Institute

Today marks a transformational moment for Providence, Oregon and the future of healthcare.

Phil and Penny Knight have committed $1.1 billion to Providence St. Vincent Medical Center and Providence Heart Institute — one of the largest gifts to a healthcare institution in American history.

This extraordinary investment will help create Oregon’s first hospital dedicated to women’s health, advance the next generation of cardiovascular care and expand innovative support for patients and families across the region.

As Phil Knight shared, “Penny and I have always believed that real breakthroughs come from people willing to take on the toughest challenges.” We are deeply honored by the Knights’ belief in Providence caregivers and our shared commitment to changing what’s possible for communities across Oregon and beyond.

“Phil and Penny have been phenomenal partners and collaborators with the heart institute, and now their extraordinary generosity will expand infrastructure and technologies, as well as foster the recruitment of skilled specialists who will deliver exceptional and personalized care,” said Dr. Dan Oseran, executive medical director of Providence Heart Institute.

As Raymond Moreno, M.D., chief executive of Providence St. Vincent, added, "Women’s health needs change throughout life, and too often patients are asked to navigate multiple specialties and care settings on their own. The Knights’ gift is an opportunity to bring these resources together, expanding access for women across Oregon and creating a strong foundation to bridge care gaps in women’s health."

We are profoundly grateful to Phil and Penny Knight for their generosity, partnership and confidence in our Mission — and energized by the work ahead to shape the future of care for generations to come.
