About MultiCare

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

MultiCare’s roots in the Pacific Northwest go back to 1882, with the founding of Tacoma’s first hospital.

Today, our comprehensive system of health includes more than 300 primary, urgent, pediatric and specialty care locations across Washington, Idaho and Oregon, as well as 12 hospitals. We welcome patients from the entire Pacific Northwest region and our 20,000-plus team members — including employees, providers and volunteers — proudly care for the communities we serve. Without a doubt, our organization has changed over the years.
