Submission declined on 12 April 2026 by Flexagoon (talk). This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for organizations and companies. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like product launches, staff appointments, or financial reports and listings in databases or listicles; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. This draft appears to contain text generated by a large language model (such as ChatGPT). You cannot use LLMs to generate article content. LLM-generated pages with certain obvious signs of being machine generated may be deleted without notice. These tools are prone to specific issues that violate our policies: hallucinations: they often invent false information and cite non-existent references. unencyclopedic tone: they tend to be vague, promotional, or essay-like, rather than neutral and factual. copyright issues: they may closely paraphrase existing text, leading to copyright violations. Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject. See the advice page on large language models for more information.

Cascade Health is a nonprofit healthcare organization based in Eugene, Oregon, United States. It provides community-based medical and supportive services across Lane County, including hospice and palliative care, occupational health, behavioral health services, rehabilitation therapies, and wellness programs.^[1]

The organization operates across home, clinic, and workplace settings and has been described as a regional provider focused on addressing gaps in community healthcare services.^[2]

Cascade Health was established in 2003, following changes to the local healthcare system after the sale of McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center to a for-profit operator.^[3]

As part of those changes, several community-based programs—including hospice, home health, and occupational health services—were separated from the hospital and reorganized under an independent nonprofit organization.^[2]

The organization was initially known as Willamette Community Health Solutions and later became Cascade Health.^[2]

Since its founding, Cascade Health has expanded its services in response to community needs, adding behavioral health programs, therapy services, and employer-based wellness clinics.^[2]

Cascade Health provides healthcare services across clinical, home, and workplace settings, including:

• Hospice and palliative care
• Occupational health services and workplace clinics
• Physical and occupational therapy
• Behavioral health services, including counseling and employee assistance programs
• Diabetes and nutrition education
• Mobile and on-site health services

A central component of Cascade Health’s services is the 'Pete Moore Hospice House, which opened in Eugene in 2017.^[4]

The $8.1 million, 17,000-square-foot facility includes 14 patient rooms and was developed over approximately a decade through community fundraising and planning.^[4]

According to The Register-Guard, the hospice house was created to serve patients with terminal illnesses who could not be cared for at home, addressing a gap in end-of-life care in the region.^[4]

The facility is the first hospice house in Lane County and provides hospital-level care in a residential setting designed to support both patients and their families.^[5]

The facility includes a full interdisciplinary care team and spaces designed for family use, including living areas, a kitchen, and outdoor access from patient rooms.^[5]

Cascade Health has been named multiple times to the “100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon” list published by Oregon Business, a ranking based on employee surveys and organizational practices.^[6]

In hospice care, Cascade Health has been listed among providers evaluated by the National Hospice Locator, which ranks hospice organizations using quality and performance metrics.^[7]

Cascade Health and its leadership have been featured in regional media coverage and public affairs programming.

In 2022, CEO Eric Van Houten was interviewed on KLCC’s Oregon Rainmakers, where the organization was described as providing a wide range of healthcare services across Lane County.^[8]
