History and Background of Willamette Valley Hospice

Willamette Valley Hospice, a non-profit organization founded in 1978 and located in Salem, Oregon, provides comprehensive hospice care services, pain management, grief services, and support for those patients and families facing serious or life-limiting illness. Willamette Valley Hospice supports adults and children living with a serious or life-limiting illness throughout Marion and Polk counties and beyond.  

Willamette Valley Hospice began with a group of dedicated volunteers who saw the unmet needs of terminally ill patients and their families in the Willamette Valley.  Since that time, Willamette Valley Hospice has grown from caring for nine patients to over 1,100 patients each year.  

A Community Commitment to All

Community is important to us. We live and work in the communities we serve and are dedicated to providing services and community support to all. We believe hospice care should be available to everyone and we provide services to all, regardless of ability to pay. 

As part of our commitment to providing care to our patients and families, we partner with other local non-profits, such as Marion Polk Food Share, to ensure patients and families receive assistance that is available to them. Our partnership with Marion Polk Food Share ensures that those patients and families needing emergency food boxes are able to get them delivered by our hospice staff.
