The 2026 South Division Philanthropy Physician Champion Awards

On February 28, 2026, Providence South Division Philanthropy hosted the Physician Champion Awards at The Langham Huntington, Pasadena, honoring outstanding physicians from across Providence Foundations in California. The evening recognized their leadership and shared commitment to fostering a culture of philanthropy that strengthens care for patients, caregivers and our communities.

The event celebrated the essential role physicians play in advancing the mission of Providence — not only through clinical excellence, but through advocacy and philanthropic partnership. Ministries from across Los Angeles County, Orange County, the High Desert and Northern California nominated exemplary physicians whose dedication extends beyond their medical practice to support innovation, access and excellence in care.

Throughout the program, each honoree’s story was highlighted, offering a meaningful look at the individuals whose compassion and leadership help drive lasting impact. Together, these Physician
Champions embody the profound impact physicians can have when they lead with heart — expanding access to care, supporting innovation and creating lasting change for generations to come.
