Heartlinks, the region's trusted nonprofit provider of hospice, palliative care, grief support, and compassionate outreach, is proud to announce the opening of its new satellite extension site designed to support timely delivery of quality care to families throughout the communities it serves. Community members, healthcare partners, elected officials, business leaders, and supporters are invited to join Heartlinks for a special Ribbon Cutting Ceremony celebrating this exciting milestone in the organization's continued commitment to providing compassionate, local care. The satellite location reflects Heartlinks' mission of ensuring that high-quality hospice, palliative care, grief support, and caregiver resources remain accessible to patients. Heartlinks staff are supported by the satellite because it bridges the geographical gap between their main office and their patients. Headquartered in Grandview, Washington, Heartlinks has served its local communities for decades, continually adapting services to meet the growing needs of the region. Today, Heartlinks provides care throughout Benton and Yakima counties. "Expanding our staff resources means more than opening a satellite location—it means bringing comfort, support, education, and hope closer to the people who need us most," said Shelby Moore, Chief Executive Officer of Heartlinks. "Our extension site strengthens our ability to serve patients and families while building deeper partnerships with healthcare providers and community organizations." The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will celebrate not only the new satellite location, but also Heartlinks' continued investment in improving equitable access to compassionate care throughout Central Washington. Founded as a nonprofit organization, Heartlinks' mission is to enrich the quality of life and recognize the worth of every individual by providing comfort, care, and support throughout life's journey. In addition to hospice and palliative care, Heartlinks offers grief support services, pediatric palliative care, volunteer opportunities, and an Adult Family Home to support patients and families with dignity and compassion. Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Date: Thursday, August 20th, 2026 Time: 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM Location: 343 Wellsian Way, Suite 103, Richland The public is encouraged to attend, tour the new site, meet the Heartlinks care team, enjoy hors d’oeuvres, and learn more about the programs and services available to the community.
