Provident

We're proud to share that Provident Behavioral Health has been named a Top Workplace for 2026 for the ninth year in a row. 🏆

This award isn't decided by a panel or a committee. It comes from our staff, who complete a survey each spring rating things like workplace mission, team relationships, and whether they feel included and valued.

To our team: thank you. This award belongs to you.

And if you're looking for a place to build a career, start here. we're hiring. Visit providentstl.org/careers.

Do you know a woman with behavioral health needs who may benefit from a supportive residential setting? Mary Ryder Home is now accepting new candidates.

Our program offers housing, health services, and community support for women aged 55+. Contact [email protected] to learn more or share with someone who may need it.

The Little Ryder Room got a whole lot of love.

Last month, four Edward Jones partners and associates volunteered their time to repaint the walls and doors, assemble new bookcases, and organize the library at Mary Ryder Home—our safe haven for women 55+ that Provident is proud to support.

Provident's own Development Specialist Ani Kramer added her own touch by painting whimsical characters right on the walls.

And Ms. Betty, a long-time Mary Ryder resident, gave it her seal of approval, "Aaa-llll right! Just like we used to say in the 60's!"

A huge thank you to the Edward Jones team and to Development Chair Kim McBride for organizing this beautiful project.
