Social Worker Hospice Home Care

Who We Are

EvergreenHealth Hospice is proud to provide the highest quality of life possible for our patients, a mission recognized by our 2022 Employer of the Year award from the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA). Collaboration is key to the best possible patient experience; our interdisciplinary teams are adept at balancing symptom management with the varied needs of families anticipating the loss of a loved one.

A core element of our organization is a goal of continuous improvement in clinical quality. We actively encourage staff participation in process improvement projects and prioritize giving our team the time to provide exceptional care. We are also proud to be recognized by The Leapfrog Group with an "A" grade for patient safety and as the only hospital in Washington state to receive a Top General Hospital designation for quality and safety.

Our Team

As an interdisciplinary team, we work together to enrich the health and wellbeing of every life we touch. Our care teams are composed of physicians, nurses (RN or LPN), social workers, certified nursing assistants, spiritual care chaplains, pharmacists, and trained volunteers who offer companionship for patients and respite for families.

Why Join Us?

At EvergreenHealth, we believe in helping our staff by offering innovative technologies like Epic to streamline workflows, flexible schedules, and a commitment to work/life balance by keeping staff in territories closest to their homes. We support professional development through tuition assistance, paid CEUs, and leadership pathways, while maintaining low staff-to-patient ratios to ensure safety and optimal clinical outcomes.

We are deeply committed to building an inclusive and diverse workforce where staff share a dedication to providing exceptional care for patients and one another.
