Chaplaincy Health Care

What Chaplaincy Health Care does

Chaplaincy Health Care, operating legally as Tri-Cities Chaplaincy, is a Washington-State non-profit hospice and grief care organization founded in 1970 (referenced as 1971 in third-party data) and headquartered at 1480 Fowler St., Richland, WA. It serves terminally ill patients, bereaved adults and children, veterans, and institutional clients across Benton and Franklin Counties (Richland, Kennewick, Pasco and surrounding areas). Its core services are organized into three care lines: end-of-life care (Hospice Care, Palliative Care, Hospice House inpatient facility), bereavement support (Adult Grief Care and the Cork's Place Kids Grief Center), and spiritual care (Chaplain Services and the We Honor Veterans program), with Five Wishes offered as an advance care planning tool.

The organization does not operate a proprietary technology platform; clinical and fundraising operations are supported by off-the-shelf integrations including Volgistics for volunteer management, DonorPerfect for donation processing, MedForward for online hospice referrals, and Constant Contact for email outreach. Its competitive advantages are rooted in regional brand equity (Tri-Cities Best Hospice Care 2024), five decades of accumulated hospice and grief care experience, an embedded volunteer and donor base, and specialty programming such as Cork's Place that is uncommon among regional hospices.

Revenue is generated primarily through reimbursable clinical services funded by the Medicare Hospice Benefit, Medicaid, and private insurance plans, with hospice care delivered in patients' homes and at the Hospice House inpatient facility. A second, structurally important revenue stream consists of individual donations, memorial gifts, planned giving, in-kind donations, and proceeds from signature fundraising events (Passport to Fun, Memorial Event, Bubbles and Brunch, Live Your Best Life Lunch). The go-to-market model is community-led: healthcare professional referrals and family member referrals drive hospice admissions, while direct online referral forms and volunteer recruitment channels support growth and donor engagement.
