Providence St. Elias earns international recognition for excellence in stroke and brain injury rehabilitation. Providence St. Elias also recognized by U.S. News & World Report as Alaska's top rehabilitation hospital and among the top 50 nationally. ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) International has awarded Providence St. Elias Specialty Hospital CARF Stroke Specialty Program and CARF Brain Injury Specialty Program accreditation, recognizing the hospital's excellence in specialized rehabilitation services. Providence St. Elias Specialty Hospital was also recently recognized by U.S. News & World Report as Alaska's top rehabilitation hospital and among the top 50 nationally among the 1,131 rehabilitation hospitals evaluated. Alaska has one of the highest rates of trauma and brain injury in the United States, and the highest rate of traumatic spinal cord injury in North America. "Alaskans need - and deserve - access to high-quality rehabilitation care," said Valerie Brooke, M.D., medical director for inpatient rehabilitation at Providence St. Elias Specialty Hospital. "Providence's investment in this care, combined with the passion and dedication of our clinical teams, has made it possible to build programs that meet these critical needs for our communities." Providence St. Elias remains the only CARF-accredited medical inpatient rehabilitation program in Alaska and serves more than 1,000 patients each year.

Providence and Arizona State University receive Stand Up To Cancer grant to advance next-generation cancer immunotherapy. Last Updated: 8/11/2026 RENTON, Wash., 08, 10, 2026 - Providence and Arizona State University launched a new collaboration focused on improving the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy through advanced mRNA vaccine technology. The Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) Nina Nicolai Innovation in Collaboration Award, a $225,000 research grant, supports work aimed at enhancing personalized T-cell therapies for pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest and most difficult-to-treat malignancies, by helping the immune system sustain a stronger attack against cancer cells. The project brings together Dr. Eric Tran, a leading immunotherapy researcher at the Providence Cancer Institute, and Dr. Di Liu, an expert in RNA engineering at Arizona State University. Together, the team is developing a next-generation mRNA vaccine designed to boost the power of engineered T cells used to treat hard-to-fight cancers. While messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines are revolutionizing medicine and have saved millions of lives during the COVID-19 pandemic, they have not been as effective in the treatment of advanced cancer. Part of this could be due to the structure of the mRNA molecules used in current vaccines which may not be optimal for stimulating the long-term T-cell responses required for eradicating cancer. To overcome this, the research team is designing new mRNA molecules to prolong T-cell responses even in the inflammatory environments that occur after mRNA vaccination and limit their effectiveness. In 2022, Tran and the Providence team published in the New England Journal of Medicine the first proof-of-concept that engineered T cells could mediate regression of metastatic pancreatic cancer; however, patients were not cured. "This collaboration focuses on solving a major treatment bottleneck in cancer immunotherapy," said Tran. "By enhancing how long and how well vaccines can stimulate T cells, we believe we can significantly improve the effectiveness of T-cell therapies for patients with solid tumors." The research will test new mRNA molecules for their ability to generate protein under immune stress and enhance the killing ability of engineered T cells against cancer. These findings will help establish an mRNA platform that may pave the way for future clinical translation. If successful, this work could unlock more effective mRNA-based boosters for cellular cancer therapies and improve outcomes for patients with hard-to-treat cancers such as pancreatic cancer.

Providence's North Division names new CEO. Kristy Carrington, CEO of Providence Swedish North Puget Sound, is soon assuming the role of CEO of Providence's North Division, MSN reported. The role takes effect later this month. Carrington succeeds Kevin Brooks, who is transitioning to a new role as chief executive of Providence Clinical Shared Services, the article said. Starting Aug. 24, Carrington will oversee operations in all of western Washington and Alaska. Carrington has served as CEO of Providence Swedish North Puget Sound since 2022, overseeing Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, Swedish Edmonds, and the Swedish Mill Creek Ambulatory Care Center, according to the article. In 2015, Carrington began working with Swedish as director of acute care at Swedish First Hill. She was promoted to chief nursing officer in 2018, and later served in regional and divisional chief nursing roles. Previously, she served as director of nursing at Keck Medical Center at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, MSN reported.
UM and Providence Health launch program to aid rural child abuse care in Montana. Missoula pediatrician Laurie Carter is piloting a new program with University of Montana researchers as part of RESOLVE, a strategic healthcare partnership between the university and Providence Health, according to an Aug. 6 announcement. The initiative, called the Montana Child Abuse Network (MT CAN), uses telehealth to support rural health providers and child welfare professionals in caring for children who may have experienced abuse or neglect. Dr. Carter said, "Montana is one of four states in the U.S. that doesn't have a child abuse pediatrician, and rural communities are especially under-resourced." The program provides training, resources, and connections to state-based medical providers with additional training in child abuse care. Carter described how her experiences treating abused children influenced her involvement: "If you've seen one child who sustained significant abuse, it's going to stick in your mind forever." She noted that early recognition of so-called sentinel injuries - minor signs like bruises or subtle fractures - is crucial for prevention but can be difficult for busy physicians with limited resources. "Approximately one-third of children who present with a significant injury have a history of a prior sentinel injury," Carter said. There are an estimated 2,500 to 2,700 victims of child abuse and neglect each year in Montana based on recent state-level data analysis. Without specialists in pediatric child abuse within the state, many cases are missed early on. Sara Cox, clinical research coordinator for RESOLVE and former pediatric nurse at Community Medical Center in Missoula, said, "When Laurie came forward with this idea, I was very excited. RESOLVE is the conduit between the University of Montana and Providence Health and all the incredible academic researchers and centers that we have on campus." Cox helped connect Carter with DART - the Developmental Adversity, Resilience and Transformation Lab at UM - led by Dr. Jim Caringi. Caringi said adverse childhood experiences increase risk for various health problems: "If an individual has just one ACE [adverse childhood experience], they're more likely to have almost every other health problem you could ever think of. This project gives us the opportunity to stop the abuse as it's happening." The pilot phase is underway in western Montana with plans for statewide expansion if successful. "If we can recognize those sentinel injuries early," Carter said, "and get children and their families the resources they need, we can prevent the worst outcomes." The University of Montana functions as a public research university emphasizing academic excellence while offering undergraduate through professional degree programs both online and on campus; it accommodates more than 11,000 students across Missoula and other areas through distance-learning options as well as virtual tours for prospective students, according to its official website.
