The Wockner Hospice Care Center is a testament to the transformative power of philanthropy. In the late 1980s, when Eugene (Gene) Wockner became seriously ill, his wife, Irene, longed for a more comforting environment for his final days. After Gene's passing, Irene's generous donation led to the creation of EvergreenHealth Hospice Care Center, inspiring the community to raise funds for a dedicated hospice facility.

Renamed in Irene's honor in 2003, the center remains the only free-standing inpatient hospice care center in King and Snohomish counties. Today, the Wockner Hospice Care Center provides compassionate end-of-life care and support to families, thanks to ongoing community generosity and support from the public hospital district. Irene's legacy of open-hearted hospitality continues at the center, welcoming all who need the comforting embrace of EvergreenHealth Hospice Care and exemplifying how philanthropy can profoundly impact lives.
