Providence Hospital was a hospital in Wallace, Idaho, United States, opened in 1891.[1] It was established by the Sisters of Providence, a Roman Catholic order of nuns from Montreal, and part of the Providence Hospital System. It closed in 1968 due to aging facilities.[2]

The hospital survived a 1910 fire that severely damaged the city of Wallace.[3] A statue of Jesus of the Sacred Heart, which sat in the first-story window of the hospital, has been missing for several decades as of 2011.[3]
