History
Brightside has a long tradition of working with young people and their families.
It was founded in 1881 by the Sisters of Providence as Brightside Orphanage, chartered
as a private, non-profit corporation in 1969, and joined the Sisters of Providence
Health System, a member of Catholic Health East, in 1984.
Brightside today is a prestigious and comprehensive child welfare, mental health
and family support center offering services for children, adolescents and their
families.
