We provide quality, individualized, "boutique" level palliative and hospice services to over 400 patients and their families each year. Care Partners is a member of the Oregon Nonprofit Hospice Alliance (www.onhanetwork.org).
Care Partners is dedicated to shaping the future of end-of-life care in Oregon. We are working with partners across the state on a new and innovative approach to preserving and developing the unique non-profit model for hospice care in Oregon. Care Partners remains focused on the core values of volunteerism, service, compassionate care, and changing how Oregonians live out their final days.
We value diversity and attempt to create a welcoming environment to all.

Description
What families say about Care Partners (formerly Hospice of Washington County): "You dear folks are as close to angels on earth as we will see. Thank you so much for the care, concern and comfort you gave "Mary" and us. I don’t know what we would have done without you." "I believe the people at Hospice improved the quality of my father’s life 10 thousand fold were he or we to have tried to do it on our own. From the Shower Aide to the Volunteers, to the Nurses to the Social Workers every single person made my father feel like a priority, never an inconvenience and put purpose and meaning into every moment he had left." "Most amazing was the process from the point of initializing hospice care to the moment when she passed. Being the primary caretaker, I had all the resources I needed both physically and emotionally." "I just wish we had called hospice sooner." The hospice philosophy of care recognizes that dying is not just a medical event but a personal one as well. Whether you elect to serve on the Board, visit patients, share a specific talent, or assist office staff, we value your gifts of time and talent.
As a Volunteer for Care Partners you can make a profound difference in a family’s life as a compassionate and calm presence who understands what they’re going through. Our volunteers share our calling to bring comfort and help to others when they need it the most.
