About Us

MultiCare is a leading-edge, integrated health organization made up of four hospitals, numerous primary care and urgent care clinics, multi-specialty centers, Hospice and Home Health services, and many other services. A not-for-profit organization based in Tacoma, Washington since 1882, MultiCare has grown over the years in response to community needs. Today we are the area's largest provider of health care services, serving patients at 93 locations in Pierce, South King, Kitsap and Thurston counties.

At MultiCare, we are committed to providing high-quality, patient-centered care. By identifying and responding to the community’s needs, we have built a health care system that offers skilled and compassionate care to individuals at every stage of life.
