Share Your Why

At PeaceHealth, every story of hope and healing begins with you. Whether you’ve felt the steady hand of a caregiver, stood beside a loved one in their most vulnerable moment, or chosen to give back to strengthen the fabric of our community’s healthcare — your story is part of something bigger.

Take Debra. After receiving life-saving care, she shared:

“I trusted their medical expertise for sure, but I never expected such incredible care and compassion that got me through a very scary time. This is my inspiration for being a PeaceHealth supporter, so others like me can have a second chance.”

Stories like Debra’s are reminders of why we show up, why we give, and why philanthropy is the quiet support behind every single act of care. Your story matters, and it could inspire someone else to take their first step toward giving.

We’d be honored to hear what moved you.

Why These Stories Matter

Every story shared creates a ripple, one of gratitude, hope, and connection. These ripples lift our caregivers, inspire generosity, and remind us that healthcare is, at its best, a shared journey.

When you share what moved you — the moment, the feeling, the reason — it means the world to our care teams. It is your authenticity that fuels our purpose and keeps compassion at the heart of everything we do.

Now, imagine your grandchild reading your story one day. They discover why you gave, what inspired you, and the impact your generosity made. Your words could spark something in them, encouraging the next generation to walk in your footsteps and carry forward a legacy of care.

Your story ensures that the spirit of compassion lives on, touching lives for generations to come.

So, What’s Your Why?

Has a caregiver’s compassion changed your life? 
Did your family’s journey inspire you to give back? 
Has PeaceHealth’s presence brought comfort when you needed it most?

  It’s time to inspire, one story at a time!  

Remember, your story is at the heart of everything we do!  
Share your “why,” and help us honor the people and moments that make PeaceHealth extraordinary.
