Creating Pathways to Advance Community-Based Care

By the Bay Health is launching an innovative initiative to ensure that our patients, caregivers, and families will always have equitable access to extraordinary healthcare at home. To achieve this goal, we are creating new pathways at both the secondary and college levels that will provide specialized education and career opportunities in healthcare to students while enhancing By the Bay Health’s ability to recruit, retain, and reward outstanding care professionals. We invite our community to join us in this initiative—and to invest with us in the future of community-based care.

Our Future Is About Improving Yours

Community Makes Our Work Possible

As the largest independent nonprofit hospice network in Northern California, our local community helps provide access to exceptional and compassionate care for our diverse and most vulnerable populations.

Creating Pathways for Future Care "Angels"

Our Pathways to Care Careers initiative is designed to create new healthcare careers in home-based care. Join us in supporting the growth of serious illness and end-of-life care in the home for years to come.

By the Bay Health is a nonprofit organization. The majority of the hospices in the United States are actually for profit corporations. We’re confident that every dollar we give goes to patient care and goes back to the community.
