The Trends 100

The Providence Health System has now topped the list of Alaska's 100 largest employers for five years. No other companies are close to the 3,6851 employees Providence had in 2005 and it won't be a surprise when the health care company hits the 4,000 mark. Providence's work force had already reached 3,921 as of March 2006. Growth just keeps coming as the health care company adds new facilities to its main Anchorage campus and continues to expand geographically. Now Providence runs facilities in Kodiak, Seward, Valdez and in the Mat-Su area.
