. The next year the Sisters' plans to build a hospital in the Laurelhurst area were approved and they began buying property at Northeast 47th and Glisan. Providence Hospital opened in September 1941. A new cancer tower was constructed in the late 2000s, which added 150 new inpatient beds. The 11 story tower houses cancer, surgery, and state-of-the-art patient care facilities. In 2011, the last nuns housed at a convent located within the main building left the facility.
