PORTLAND, Oregon—The boards of directors of Housecall Providers and CareOregon have approved a definitive agreement for Housecall Providers to become part of Chapters Health System (Chapters Health), a nonprofit provider of hospice and chronic illness care.
Housecall Providers said the affiliation is expected to provide the Portland-area nonprofit with expanded access to resources that support its home-based primary care, palliative care and hospice including workforce recruitment, technology and fundraising.
The definitive agreement will be submitted to the Oregon Health Authority’s Health Care Market Oversight program for review, a process that typically takes several months. Pending approval, the organizations anticipate completing the affiliation in late spring or early summer of 2026.
“This partnership ensures our mission remains strong for decades to come,” said Rebecca Ramsay, CEO of Housecall Providers “By joining forces with like-minded nonprofit health care organizations across the country, we can protect and grow not-for-profit serious illness care at a critical time, while staying true to the compassionate, home-based care our patients and families know and trust.”
The companies said there will be no interruption to services or access to care during the transition.
“Chapters Health’s goal is to protect and strengthen nonprofit hospice and home-based medical care in the United States by creating sustainable models that allow community organizations to thrive in an increasingly complex environment,” said Andrew Molosky, resident and CEO, Chapters Health System. “Working together with the incredible team at Housecall Providers, we will be able to expand access to critical care for Oregonians and further strengthen the Chapters Health System presence in the state.
Chapters Health has already established a western states care division, which includes Willamette Vital Health in Salem and other nonprofit medical organizations across Northern California and Nevada. By joining together under a shared platform, these organizations reduce operating costs, leverage resources, exchange best practices and focus more fully on patient care.
Originally formed as a network of nonprofit hospices and Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) programs, Chapters Health has expanded to include adjacent home-based services such as primary care, a Medicare Advantage plan, palliative care and other chronic and serious illness programs.
