Hospice of Kitsap County is a not-for-profit, Medicare-certified hospice provider based in Silverdale, Washington. Founded in 1979 by local volunteers, it serves Kitsap County as the area’s first hospice and remains governed by a voluntary board composed of community residents. The organization operates within the hospitals and health care sector and emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to end-of-life care, addressing medical, emotional, spiritual, psychosocial, and educational needs for patients and supporting their families. It collaborates with local doctors and providers to ensure services reflect community needs, and it is supported by memorial gifts, donations, grants, and annual fundraising efforts. As part of Multicare Health System since 2015, the hospice maintains its local identity while integrating with a broader regional health care network based in Tacoma. The organization serves a population requiring comprehensive, patient-centered end-of-life care delivered through a coordinated care plan developed by physicians, nurses, social workers, spiritual counselors, health aides, and volunteers. The current context includes ongoing leadership changes within Multicare, while Hospice of Kitsap County continues to operate as Kitsap County’s locally incorporated hospice provider.
