Our services include a 35 bed inpatient program that focuses primarily on individuals who are experiencing end of life due to HIV, ALS, Huntington's Disease or cancer.

Candidates should possess the willingness to work in a nontraditional position among patients in a milieu setting vs a job that is anchored at a desk. Since we are a 7 day a week operation, staff share weekend coverage on a rotational basis. Staff work together to produce a staffing schedule to meet the needs of the team.  As an employee of Virginia Mason, our staff enjoy the emotional benefits of working at a nonprofit facility, but are paid as hospital employees - a higher level of compensation than the typical social service agency.
