Founded by the Sisters of Providence, St. Paul’s Hospital is an acute academic and research hospital, affiliated with the University of British Columbia, providing quaternary, tertiary and secondary care. It opened in 1894 as a 25-bed wood-frame structure at its current downtown site. Working within its Mission and core values, St. Paul’s Hospital serves the needs of over 213,000 patients annually, and is committed to providing the highest quality of health care for patients from across British Columbia.

Over the years, the Sisters have been actively involved in the delivery of care and administration of the hospital. In 1997, St. Paul's Hospital became a member of Providence Health Care in Vancouver. The Sisters are actively involved in a governance role as members of the Providence Health Care Society, and of the Board of Directors for Providence Health Care.
