PeaceHealth
PeaceHealth is a non-profit health care organization that operates ten hospitals in the Western United States. Headquartered in Vancouver, Washington, the organization was founded by the Catholic Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace in 1976 and operates clinics and laboratories in Alaska, Oregon, and Washington.
==History==
In 1890, nuns of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace moved to Fairhaven, Washington, from the convent in Newark, New Jersey, to establish a hospital for loggers. The order continued to build hospitals and in 1936 opened their first one in Oregon.〔 After continued growth, the Sisters formed a non-profit health care system in 1976, and in 1994 the name was changed to PeaceHealth.〔 In 1997, PeaceHealth merged its SelectCare health insurance plan with Providence Health & Services, which at the time PeaceHealth was based in Eugene, Oregon.
PeaceHealth merged with Southwest Washington Health System in December 2010, and moved its headquarters from Bellevue, Washington, to Vancouver, Washington. At the time, PeaceHealth had annual revenues of approximately $1.3 billion and operated seven hospitals. The organization announced an alliance with University of Washington Medical Center in May 2013, which the American Civil Liberties Union criticized due to PeaceHealth being a Catholic group.
