Making life better for people. Bringing good health to all. These are core beliefs that form the foundation of our mission at Legacy Health. As one of the largest employers and health care providers in the Portland and Southwest Washington areas, our mission guides everything we do. It’s why people trust us—with their health, their lives, and their futures.
 
This shared mission is also what unites the people who work at Legacy. While our work is a job, it’s also so much more. It’s a purpose, a calling, and a chance to make a real impact.
