With more than 23,000 team members and a network of 13 hospitals, MultiCare ($7B net revenues) has grown from a Tacoma-centric, hospital-based organization into the largest, not-for-profit, community-based, and locally governed health system in the state of Washington.  MultiCare is on a fast growth trajectory with the goal of serving one third of the population in Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and Alaska by 2026 through a combination of direct service provision or in partnership with others. To fulfill that goal, MultiCare has been embarking on market expansion, improving access to care and services through a variety of vehicles, a performance excellence program and population health strategy.
