The rich history of Ascension Providence began when a Waco doctor and businessman asked the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul to build a hospital in the community to care for the sick. Since then, Ascension Providence has enhanced that mission with today's latest technology to provide innovative advanced care for the most complicated conditions and create opportunities for you and your family to conveniently find care with 650 providers at 20 sites of care.
