Outreach and Fundraising Coordinator

Join a Mission That Puts Care First

At our community-grown, independent nonprofit, we believe in keeping the care in healthcare. For over 45 years, our mission has been rooted in compassion, dignity, and service to those at the end of life and those who care for them. We don’t answer to shareholders — we answer to our community.

We care deeply about our people so they can care deeply for others. That’s why we’re building a team of dedicated, mission-driven professionals who believe that kindness, respect, and human connection are the foundation of meaningful care.

If you’re someone who believes that healthcare should serve people — not profits — and want to be part of a team where your voice matters and your heart leads the way, we’d love to meet you.

Care for the community. Be cared for as a professional. Grow with us.
