Dear Providence Friends,

Please join members of the Providence Health & Services family as we embark on a spectacular eight-day cruise through the sights and history of the beautiful Mediterranean Sea.

Our purpose in sponsoring this cruise is two-fold:

First, we’re all eager to visit this cruise’s ports of call, which include Rome, the island of Sicily, Athens, Ephesus and Crete, using one of the most modern and comfortable cruise ships afloat as our base. That’s Royal Caribbean’s “Navigator of the Seas,” an incredible vessel that is, with its myriad attractions and amenities, an attraction in its own right.

But of equal importance is the opportunity to spend time with our colleagues and friends from Providence Health & Services as we learn more about the hospital’s vision, history and mission.

This is a chance for all of us to form lasting new friendships as we travel, to find or amplify the involvement and stewardship that make life so rewarding, to share priceless travel experiences with people of common cause and common interests and to participate in informative and interesting Seminars at Sea presented by members of the Providence Health & Services family.

You will also have the option, either prior to the cruise or following it, to participate in a variety of special optional pre- and post-cruise trips – including three nights in Rome - that will greatly expand your travel experience.

There truly is something for everyone on this special and affordable cruise. We at Providence Health & Services very much hope you can join us.

Sincerely,

Patricia E. Modrzejewski
President
Providence Health and Services Foundation
