Oregon Nonprofit Hospice Alliance

What Oregon Nonprofit Hospice Alliance does

Oregon Nonprofit Hospice Alliance (ONHA) is a Portland, Oregon-based nonprofit alliance formed in 2018 to preserve community-based nonprofit hospice and palliative care in the state. ONHA does not deliver patient care directly; instead, it operates as an umbrella organization connecting two founding affiliates — Care Partners (serving Washington, Multnomah, Columbia, and Clackamas counties in the Portland metro since 1982) and Klamath Hospice and Palliative Care (serving Klamath, Siskiyou, and Modoc counties in southern Oregon and northern California since 1982) — and provides shared services designed to deliver economies of scale. These shared services include Centralized Financial Services (launched 2023 as the first centralized administrative offering), Shared Physician Weekend Call coverage, joint programming and educational initiatives, marketing and fundraising support, and project management services. Revenue mechanics rely on Medicare hospice benefit, Medicaid hospice benefit, and private insurance reimbursement flowing through the affiliates, supplemented by charitable donations to ONHA, with all surplus reinvested into patient care rather than distributed as profit. Under the leadership of CEO Dr. JooRi Jun, ND (appointed April 2022), the alliance employs 1-10 staff at the central level and serves a geographic footprint of 7 counties per the primary website or 142 zip codes across 12 counties per a secondary source, spanning from Northern California to the Oregon/Washington border. ONHA's go-to-market is community-led: patient acquisition flows through healthcare system referrals, hospital partnerships, and community outreach (webinars, KATU television features, library partnerships, senior community workshops), while alliance-level growth depends on recruiting additional nonprofit hospice members to expand the shared-service ecosystem.
