Mission Healthcare has cut the ribbon on three de novo locations in Oregon and California.<\/p>\n
The three new operations are located in Bakersfield, California; Salem, Oregon and Portland, Oregon. All three opened within the past week, expanding the company\u2019s footprint in the western United States.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u200bThere\u2019s a massive difference between opening a new office on paper, and actually becoming part of a community. \u200bThis week, we cut the ribbons in Portland and Salem, officially welcoming these branches into the Mission Healthcare family,\u201d Kimberly Fremo, organizational effectiveness leader at Mission Healthcare, said in a social media post<\/a>. \u201c\u200bBut the real magic wasn\u2019t the giant scissors or the photo ops. It was watching how these two distinct clinical teams care, completely driven by the same goal: making sure patients get incredible care.\u201d<\/p>\n Based in San Diego, Mission Healthcare provides home health and hospice care out of 28 locations in seven states. Mission is a portfolio company of the private equity firm The Vistria Group. <\/p>\n Demographic tailwinds are driving demand for hospice care in Oregon and California. <\/p>\n Oregon has the 11th oldest population in the nation. Seniors aged 65 and older make up roughly 19.9% of the state\u2019s population, according to the state\u2019s Department of Human Services. Approximately 850,800 Oregonians are 65 or older, with this demographic expected to grow by nearly 59% by 2050.<\/p>\n More than 18,440 Oregon decedents elected the Medicare Hospice Benefit in 2024, according to the National Alliance for Care at Home. <\/p>\n In California, adults 65 and older represent the state\u2019s fastest-growing demographic, according to the Public Policy Institute of California. Seniors currently make up roughly 15% to 20% of the state\u2019s population. By 2040, nearly 1 in 4 Californians will be 65 or older.<\/p>\n In excess of 114,200 people died in hospice care in California during 2024, the Alliance reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mission Healthcare has cut the ribbon on three de novo locations in Oregon and California.
