PeaceHealth

What PeaceHealth does

PeaceHealth is a non-profit Catholic health system founded in 1890 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace and headquartered in Vancouver, Washington. It operates 9 medical centers and more than 160 clinics across Washington, Oregon, and Alaska, employing approximately 16,000 caregivers and 3,000+ providers including physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. The system serves both urban and rural communities, including critical access hospitals in remote markets such as Ketchikan and Craig, Alaska, and Friday Harbor, Washington.

The service portfolio spans the full continuum of care: primary care, specialty care, emergency and trauma services, surgery, cancer care, cardiac care, behavioral health, rehabilitation, hospice, and home health. Technology infrastructure centers on Epic's MyChart patient portal for 24/7 digital engagement (messaging, scheduling, test results, bill pay) and Video Visits for telehealth, complemented by a centralized RiverBend Annex outpatient laboratory and on-site outpatient pharmacy at RiverBend. The Cascadia Community Care Alliance, supported by Honest Health, operationalizes Medicare value-based care programs across the three-state footprint with analytics, documentation, and care management capabilities. The Community Health Hub has generated 1,300+ referrals addressing social determinants of health including housing, food, and employment.

Revenue is generated primarily through patient care services billed across insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay arrangements, supplemented by transformational philanthropy (the Stronger Together campaign raised over $100 million; the Healthcare Reimagined Campaign raised nearly $75 million). Pricing includes a sliding-scale financial assistance program and balance billing protection. The go-to-market is direct-to-patient via the regional medical center and clinic network, with digital self-service channels via MyChart and Video Visits. The system is governed by a Board of Directors with continued leadership involvement from the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace and is currently led by President and CEO Sarah Ness following Liz Dunne's July 2025 retirement.
