PeaceHealth

 


Combining the science and art, the head and the heart of its health care ministry, PeaceHealth operates six hospitals, medical groups, a chemical dependency program, health care joint ventures, and other services in the Pacific Northwest.  The organization's end-of-life care goals echo PeaceHealth's culture that is patient-centered and family friendly.
