This we’re reflecting on how far we’ve come since our founding in 1948 by a group of concerned community residents. In 1955, a sign was planted to mark the future site of the community’s first hospital that opened in 1958 to provide essential health services close to home.

Today, that 10-acre plot has grown and expanded across multiple locations, providing top-tier services as an integrated health system that we now call Washington Health.

Our reason is you.
Since 1958.

We were honored with the overwhelming turnout for our UCSF-Washington Cancer Center open house and ribbon cutting last night. Leaders from the Washington Township Health Care District Board, CEO Kimberly Hartz, and cancer center Medical Director Dr. Bogdan Eftimie joined UCSF Health leaders including Network President Brian Sinotte, and elected officials including California State Senator Aisha Wahab, and California State Assemblymember Alex Lee to celebrate this historic moment. The newly expanded regional cancer center more than triples access to world-class cancer care in our district, close to home, where family and friends can support their loved ones throughout the care journey.

Bodhi Day marks the moment Siddhartha Gautama achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and became the Buddha. Many Buddhists observe this day through meditation, studying the Dharma, chanting sutras, and practicing compassion. Washington Health recognizes the mental and emotional benefits of these traditions and encourages our communities to embrace mindfulness, well-being, and kindness.
