At 97 years old, Lena Yep still enjoys getting outside. On a clear day in Portland, she rides her motorized scooter along the path near her home. It gives her things that matter deeply at this stage of life. Independence. Fresh air. A sense of normalcy.

Thank you so much to our team members who took time to volunteer, and to the incredible staff at for hosting us and for the vital work you do every day for our community. We’re grateful to be a part of it. 💙

The strength of Housecall Providers begins with the people who choose to be part of this mission. Each morning, our staff bring skill, compassion, and steady professionalism to their work, and the care they offer reflects the intention they carry into each home. Their presence brings reassurance, their judgment brings clarity, and their kindness leaves a lasting impression on the families they support.

As a nonprofit committed to home-based medical care, we rely on the integrity and dedication of our teams. They navigate complex situations with calm attention, adapt to the needs of each day, and contribute to a culture grounded in respect and purpose. The work can be demanding, yet they continue to show what it means to serve with heart.

To our team, we hope you know that the communities we touch are stronger and more connected because of the work you do. Thank you for all you do, each and every day.
