Cascade Health Solutions to break ground on new Pete Moore Hospice House.
Eugene, Oregon — July 28, 2015 — After years of planning and preparation, Cascade Health Solutions is pleased to be breaking ground on the new Pete Moore Hospice House, located at 4010 County Farm Road in Eugene. The groundbreaking will take place on Wednesday, July 29th in a ceremony for friends and donors of the project.
In 2007, through the support and input of the medical community, a unique vision emerged to create a hospice house that will provide a reprieve from the many stresses that come from a life-limiting illness. Surrounded by nature, Pete Moore Hospice House will offer a serene environment and a warm, home-like facility to provide the best in compassionate end-of-life care.
As Lane County’s first dedicated hospice facility, Pete Moore Hospice House will soon provide respite care and acute symptom management to those facing life-limiting illnesses. The needs of both patient and caregivers are met at a critical time when dignity and serenity can make each moment more significant.
“The desire for comfort and compassion, while surrounded by those they love, can make all the difference,” said Cascade Health Solutions CEO Cheryl Boyum. “The Pete Moore Hospice House will provide a respite for individuals and for those caring for them.”
The new Pete Moore Hospice House will feature:
- 17,000 sq. ft. facility
- 14 private rooms with en suite baths
- In-room family stays
- Respite care & acute pain management
- Short-term stays & extended care
- Compassionate care by dedicated professionals for individuals & families
Cascade Health Solutions has raised 70% of the funding through the generous support of local individuals and the medical community. Construction is set to begin following the groundbreaking ceremony with an anticipated completion of late spring, 2016.
In order to establish a legacy of compassion, Cascade Health Solutions has named the new hospice house in memory of Pete Moore. Over his lifetime, J. Peter Moore made each moment matter, quietly transforming his position as a prominent businessman into roles with activism, leadership, and philanthropy that enriched the communities he called home. Among Pete’s many commitments, a clear vision to make quality healthcare more accessible was most evident. His charitable vision inspires the name of the new Cascade Health Solutions hospice house with a hope to embed the same passion and compassionate commitments of Pete Moore into the mission and culture of the hospice house.
Cascade Health Solutions is a non-profit organization formed in 2007 with a single focus of improving the health and quality of life in our community. By identifying unmet health needs in Lane County, Cascade provides charitable services to improve the health care needs of our communities.
