Samaritan Health Services

Samaritan Health Services and MultiCare affiliation

Plans are underway for Samaritan Health Services to affiliate with MultiCare Health System, a highly respected, mission-driven organization based out of Tacoma, Washington.  

The affiliation, which is expected to be finalized in the spring or summer of 2026 — pending state and federal regulatory approval — will enable Samaritan to remain a locally governed, community-based health system while gaining access to new resources and expertise. 

This affiliation does not change anything for Samaritan patients or team members today.

Visit www.samhealth.org/Affiliation for more information and frequently asked questions.
