"I believe in the mission of the Hospice movement. While we celebrate the arrival of births (as we should), so ought we cherish and celebrate those whose time is drawing short. The care provided to individuals and their family members by Willamette Valley Hospice during the dying and grieving process is an important aspect of life. I’m grateful to serve on the board in order to help further these services to our community."

“I have witnessed the care and warmth of hospice nurses and have benefitted from their expertise in my own time of need. As a result, I am honored to serve on the board of WVH to ensure that other people in our community may experience this same level of care and concern as they support their loved ones through their final days.”
Dr. Scott Hadden
"As a physician who cares for all ages I always appreciate Willamette Vital Health for prompt and personal attention to any referral or concern. I consistently get wonderful feedback from families. They feel supported at all times.”
The Board of Directors of Willamette Vital Health is committed, not only to continually learning and understanding the importance of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice within the Board itself, the entire agency, and the community we serve, but also to providing services to traditionally underserved people and families.
This process will be directed by the Board of Directors through the Strategic Planning process and implemented by the Executive Director and Staff.
Through our mission of providing innovative, personalized and compassionate care to patients and families, we will also support and continually work toward an open culture of care for everyone.
The Board is committed to supporting the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion within the organization and recognizes that such a culture thrives within a community and creates an understanding, caring work environment.
