Mission, Vision & Values
Heartlinks (formerly known as Lower Valley Hospice) was founded in 1978, inspired by the work of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, MD – a true pioneer in the humane treatment of the terminally ill. A group of five caring professionals and neighbors came together in 1978 to create Lower Valley Hospice. Their perseverance and commitment to care for those in the community facing a life-threatening illness made Lower Valley Hospice one of the first hospices in the United States. In 1983, Lower Valley Hospice became one of the first Medicare-certified hospices in the State of Washington.
