Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The mission of Tri-Cities Chaplaincy is to guide our community members to live their best lives, even and especially through end of life. Our services include a Medicare/Medicaid certified hospice program, palliative care, and grief care - including Cork's Place Kids Grief Center. Our goal is provide end-of-life, grief, and spiritual care for all who need us, regardless of a persons ability to pay. This is made possible through the generosity of others.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The team from Tri-Cities Chaplaincy focuses on the entire person – their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. We guide, comfort and care for people experiencing serious illness, end of life, loss, and grief.
For over 50 years, Chaplaincy Health Care has continually honed our medical expertise with a significant number of board-certified clinical team members and a high ratio of RNs, social workers and chaplains to provide guidance, care and comfort with the highest standards of excellence.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Tri-Cities Chaplaincy has an over 50-year history of providing exemplary care in our community. Our heritage of compassion began in 1971 when a group of local churches in the Tri-Cities area established a program with one chaplain to provide outreach to people not being served in jails and nursing homes, and people coping with dying or the loss of a loved one. This act of compassion turned into what Chaplaincy Health Care is today.
Tri-Cities Chaplaincy is a nonprofit, non-sectarian, organization and assists all individuals in need throughout our service area in the Mid-Columbia region of southeast Washington. Our work is supported by individuals, businesses, foundations, local service clubs and communities of faith.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
In 2023, thousands of people in our community received expert guidance and care when they needed it most.
• 973 patients & their families
• 1,347 people through grief support - including children & teens at Cork's Place
• 11,591 hours of care from Chaplain Services
• 10,607 hours of care from Social Workers
