This emerging trend puts nonprofit organizations like ours on the frontline of a critical battle: ensuring that quality, compassionate care remains people-focused rather than profit-driven.
Over the past three decades, we have provided essential services to nearly 20,000 homebound and seriously ill community members. Our success is driven by the continued commitment of our partners and supporters. In particular, the backing of CareOregon, a nonprofit community-based health plan, has enabled us to remain true to our mission and deliver care that places human dignity above financial gain.
Our work is not just about maintaining standards—it’s about transforming a system that too often leaves the most medically vulnerable behind. Every donation, every grant, and every individual gift has empowered us to meet that challenge. We are deeply grateful to the individuals, institutions, and foundations that have contributed millions in support of our cause.
Yet, in today’s uncertain and rapidly changing health care landscape, we need your help now more than ever to confront the road ahead.
“In an era where we have to fight to remain viable amidst the growing competition of for-profit, corporate entities, our commitment to nonprofit values and community-centric service is our most powerful tool,” says Housecall Providers CEO Rebecca Ramsay. “We must invest in our future so that home-based care remains a standard of excellence for everyone who needs it.”
Acknowledging the emerging challenges in health care both locally and nationally, former Executive Director Terri Hobbs remarked, “I’m truly heartened to see that Housecall Providers continues to serve the homebound in our community—a mission that has meant so much to so many of us. The dedication of our team kept this mission alive, and there will always be more work to do.”
Our continued success is a testament to the dedication of our staff, past and present, who work tirelessly to provide clinically excellent home-based care. Whether it’s a primary care visit, a palliative care consultation, or compassionate end-of-life support, our team remains committed to serving those who need us most.
A broad cross-section of our community came together last year to support this work. Join us this year in supporting nonprofit health care that will always put people first. Your support today is an investment in the future of home-based care, empowering us to confront emerging challenges and ensure that quality care remains the norm for another 30 years and beyond.
