Hospice care is a holistic approach to end-of-life care, addressing the medical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of the terminally ill person and their loved ones. Hospice of Spokane was among the first hospices in the country and has served the Greater Spokane area since 1977. We are nationally recognized as experts in helping people handle end-of-life issues with grace, dignity, comfort, and peace of mind. We have the comprehensive knowledge, reputation, and trust of our community that only comes from decades of experience and dedication to providing the highest quality care to people like you. Hospice of Spokane cares for anyone of any age with any terminal condition. Anyone can refer a person to Hospice of Spokane. Individuals are eligible for hospice care if their life expectancy is six months or less and they no longer desire life-prolonging treatments. Our team focuses on ensuring your comfort and supporting your quality of life. From delivering specialized care right in your home day or night to grief counseling for family members, we are here for you. The sooner Hospice of Spokane is able to begin caring for you, the more time you will have to receive the full benefit of our compassionate presence.

Plymouth Housing transforms lives by providing permanent, supportive homes to homeless people with few other options for housing. Since 1980, we’ve been providing homes to the most challenged homeless adults in our community. Today, over 1,000 low income and formerly homeless adults live in 14 Plymouth residential apartment buildings in the downtown Seattle area. Another 750 households have found a home in Seattle/King County through Plymouth’s Shelter Plus Care Program (a federal housing program Plymouth administers for King County). At the heart of Plymouth’s approach is the “Housing First” philosophy, a philosophy that has proven successful across the country. Without a stable home, homeless people cannot access the assistance they need to address their problems. Lack of a stable home exacerbates chronic medical and mental health conditions, making it very difficult to improve one’s life. At Plymouth, we work hard to lower the barriers to housing so that people who are shut out of housing have an opportunity to succeed. Our model of permanent housing, coupled with “wrap around” supportive services, helps people rebuild their lives, regain their dignity, and leave homelessness behind forever.

Celebrate what is. Commit to what can be! What started as a tiny therapy program in 1979 has grown into the largest and most comprehensive independent nonprofit pediatric therapy program in the state. We provide unsurpassed services for thousands of children with developmental delays and disabilities each year. We begin by celebrating where each child is today. Then, together with families, we work toward who that child can become. We believe... • Every child is amazing in their own way. We look past limitations and see potential. • Parents are the child’s first and most important teacher. • Therapy looks a lot like play ... and play is the job of a child. • Achievement of any milestone, big or small, is worthy of celebration. • Quality services provided by skilled and compassionate staff result in positive outcomes for children and families. We provide home-based Early Intervention services for children age birth to three and center-based services for children 3 and older. Our services include: • Comprehensive Evaluations • Physical Therapy • Occupational Therapy • Speech-Language Therapy • Oral Motor/Feeding Therapy • Aquatic Therapy • Early Childhood Special Education • Family Resources Coordination • Social Work • Specialized Groups • Parent Education and Support

Boyer was organized in 1942 by a group of doctors, parents and volunteers to provide services for children with cerebral palsy in a community setting. Today, more than 80 years later, Boyer continues to be a leader and highly-valued resource in the community promoting services for children with neuromuscular disabilities and developmental delays. Boyer is the largest provider of ESIT services in Seattle for children birth to teen (focused primarily on children age birth to three), serving over 1,200 children and their families annually. We have two locations: our flagship site in the Montlake neighborhood, and our new satellite clinic in Magnuson Park. Depending on each child’s needs, Boyer establishes an interdisciplinary team that may include therapists, a developmental pediatrician, nurses, educators, social workers and family resources coordinators to maximize identification, consultation and integration of services.
