Providence Everett Medical Center has changed its name to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. The new name reflects the organization’s status as a tertiary referral center serving a five-county region.
Providence officials say the word “regional” in the new name conveys the type of organization the medical care provider has become: one with a wide range of resources, cutting-edge technology and highly skilled physicians and staff. “Everett” was kept in the name for continuity and community recognition.
“Providence Everett has grown beyond a community hospital, to a national, award-winning regional referral center,” said Dave Brooks, chief executive officer for the Northwest Washington Service Area of Providence Health and Services. “Our old name no longer fits who we are. Of equal importance, the new name will provide a strong foundation for our continued growth with the new medical tower schedule to open in 2011.”
To accompany the new name, a new logo was created. The logo emphasizes the word “Providence,” and features a new rendering of the cross symbol and a rising sun to represent Providence’s eye to the future.
