Overview

Mission

It is the mission of Mt. Hood Hospice to provide an independent, community-based program of care for terminally ill patients and their loved ones that emphasizes dignity, comfort and choices for quality of life, regardless of the ability to pay.

What it reported doing in 2025

Direct, compassionate, hands-on care is provided to the patient by a registered nurse who specializes in hospice care, gerontology, and pain and symptom management. The care is regularly reviewed by the medical director and a pharmacist and by the supervisory nursing staff to assure the maximum comfort of the patient.the nurse usually visits twice a week, assessing the patients' needs and helping provide sufficient information to the caregiver to assure safe, palliative care. More frequent visits occur as needed.since our goal is to allow the end of life to take its natural course, no active, curative therapies are undertaken. In most cases a cancer patient would no longer continue to undergo chemotherapy unless its objective was symptom control. Hospice care neither hastens nor postpones death. However, pain and other symptoms are rigorously treated to assure the patient is as comfortable as possible, that his or her personality is not dulled or altered by drugs, social isolation or the environment.the other members of the interdisciplinary team, the social worker, the chaplain, the home health aid all help with the continued assessment of the patient to assure he or she has the best care available.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 94% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
