North Star Lodge Cancer Care Services

What North Star Lodge Cancer Care Services does

North Star Lodge Cancer Care Services, operating as MultiCare Cancer Institute – North Star Lodge, is a hospital-based outpatient cancer care clinic located at 808 N 39th Ave, Yakima, Washington. It is licensed as part of MultiCare Yakima Memorial Hospital and operated by MultiCare Health System, a nonprofit integrated delivery network that runs 13 hospitals across Washington State. The clinic provides comprehensive cancer diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care services including chemotherapy, radiation oncology, infusion therapy, lymphedema therapy, mammography, genetic counseling, clinical trials access, on-site pharmacy, and coordination of home health and hospice services (via Cottage in the Meadow). Patients access the clinic through physician referrals or self-scheduling, with general hours Monday through Friday from 7:45am to 4:30pm.

The clinic is accredited through the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Commission on Cancer, a credential that signals adherence to nationally recognized quality standards in cancer program delivery. The clinical staff roster, as published, includes medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, a gynecologic oncologist, and advanced registered nurse practitioners, indicating a multidisciplinary care model. As a hospital-based outpatient clinic, patients may receive a separate facility fee in addition to professional charges, and billing is conducted through insurance with self-pay and financial assistance options.

The business model is professional services revenue from clinical encounters and facility fees, supplemented by on-site pharmacy revenue. There are no disclosed pricing figures, payer mix breakdowns, or unit economics; revenue is not separately reported because North Star Lodge is a non-revenue-reporting department of a nonprofit health system. Marketing and patient acquisition are conducted through the multicare.org website, social media channels, the MultiCare Vitals blog, and provider referrals within and outside the MultiCare network.
