Home - About Samaritan - Our Organization
Samaritan Health Services is a nonprofit regional health system serving communities across Benton, Lincoln, Linn and parts of neighboring counties. Since 1997, Samaritan has grown to more than 5,000 employees caring for over 290,000 residents.
In fall 2026, Samaritan became the first health system in Oregon to affiliate with MultiCare Health System, a large nonprofit network based in Tacoma, Washington, expanding access to care and resources across the Pacific Northwest.
Guided by a mission to partner for healing and a healthy future, Samaritan includes five hospitals, nearly 100 primary care and specialty clinics, retail pharmacies and fitness centers throughout Oregon’s mid-Willamette Valley and Central Coast. The organization also offers group plans and a Dual-Eligible Special Needs plan through Samaritan Health Plans and administers a Medicaid plan through InterCommunity Health Network Coordinated Care Organization.
Samaritan is committed to improving community health, advancing medical education and strengthening partnerships with schools, nonprofits and public health partners. Its work has earned national recognition for quality care and for being one of America’s healthiest workplaces.
Samaritan is governed by a board, which includes community members, physicians and hospital leaders.
As one of the region’s major employers, Samaritan actively participates in efforts to strengthen and grow the local economy, as well as to improve quality of life through high-achieving schools, a strong network of social services, and a commitment to preserving and protecting the environment.
Together with our more than 6,000 employees, Samaritan is committed to “partnering for healing and a healthy future.”
