Our Organizations

Explore By the Bay Health's latest impact report.

United by Care. Stronger Together.

This new chapter is about more than a new logo or a new look. It reflects how By the Bay Health, Hope Hospice, and Mission Hospice have grown together and where we’re going next.

Each of our organizations has spent decades caring for patients and families in the Northern California community. By bringing our organizations together, we can build on those strengths while creating a more connected experience for everyone who relies on us.

That means greater reach. More coordinated services. Easier access to care. And a stronger independent nonprofit network equipped to serve communities for generations to come.

Our brand has changed to reflect that future. Our commitment to high-quality care has not.

Honoring the Legacies That Brought Us Here

For five decades, By the Bay Health has been committed to serving our community with high-quality, compassionate hospice and palliative care.

That’s not changing with our unified brand and network. Our legacy, and those of Mission Hospice and Hope Hospice, aren’t being replaced but becoming something larger. To learn more about our history, watch this interview with our Founding CEO Mary Taverna.

The experience, people, programs, and community connections built by each of our organizations are woven into our unified brand and network. Hope Hospice and Mission Hospice continue as valued partners within By the Bay Health, with donations to them staying in their communities while they carry forward the trust they have built with patients, families, healthcare providers, volunteers, donors, and neighbors over decades.

By coming together under a unified brand we can preserve what makes each organization special while giving our communities access to the resources and reach of a larger By the Bay Health nonprofit network.

By The Bay Health offers hospice care for patients in Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Sonoma counties.

Why Nonprofit Care Matters

Healthcare continues to change. Preserving independent nonprofit care matters more than ever.

Our priorities begin with patients, families, and communities. Resources can be reinvested into the care and programs people need — from hospice and palliative care to grief support, community education, and services that may not always be adequately reimbursed but remain essential to the people we serve.

Coming together under the By the Bay Health banner makes that mission stronger.

Being a larger independent nonprofit network allows us to share expertise and resources, expand access to care, invest in our workforce and programs, and build a more sustainable future for community-based hospice and serious illness care.

For us, growth isn’t simply about becoming larger. It’s about making sure compassionate nonprofit care is here when people need it — today and for generations to come.

Together, We’re Building the Future of Nonprofit Care

Our name and look may be evolving, but the heart of our work of caring for people with compassion, dignity, and respect remains the same.

By joining together, we can now carry that commitment further.
