PeaceHealth is a not-for-profit Catholic health system based in Vancouver, Washington, delivering hospital and health care services to communities across Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. It supports a medical group with more than 900 providers and nine medical centers, backed by a large network of caregivers serving both urban and rural communities in the Northwest. The organization traces its origins to 1890, when the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace founded it to address local health care needs, and its mission is framed by values such as respect, stewardship, collaboration, and social justice. Operating within the hospitals and health care sector, PeaceHealth serves a broad patient base across its service areas while maintaining a not-for-profit model tied to its Catholic heritage. A recent development includes the PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center in the San Juan Islands being designated a Level III Stroke Center by the Washington State Department of Health, reflecting capabilities in advanced acute stroke care. The organization continues to sustain its Northwest footprint as it adapts facilities and services to meet evolving community health needs.
