A Legacy Of Compassion: The History
Of Walla Walla Community Hospice
Walla Walla Community Hospice (WWCH) was founded in 1980 by a small group of volunteers who wanted to provide compassionate care for terminally ill patients and their families. Over the decades, WWCH has grown into a vital part of the Walla Walla Valley, offering comprehensive end-of-life care, grief support, and respite services. The organization has expanded its services to cover surrounding areas in southeastern Washington, northeastern Oregon, and parts of Idaho, while continuing to uphold its core mission of providing comfort, dignity, and support for those facing life-limiting illnesses. WWCH’s team includes healthcare professionals, trained volunteers, and counselors, reflecting its deep roots in community care.
