About MultiCare Cancer Institute

MultiCare Cancer Institute is a physician-led, multi-specialty group within MultiCare Health System, delivering integrated hematology, oncology, radiation, surgical and supportive care across Washington state. Each year, we diagnose and treat more than 6,000 new cancer cases across Olympia, Spokane, Tacoma and Yakima.

We bring together advanced pathology, imaging and evidence-based treatment with holistic supportive services to provide personalized, high-quality cancer care. As we continue to grow, we are building the Pacific Northwest’s most comprehensive and high-value oncology network—projected to double in volume over the next five years.

The Social Worker Oncology Specialist is responsible for exemplary care coordination of oncology patients across the continuum of care, psychosocial assessments, and psychosocial interventions. This individual works with physicians, peers, community colleagues, and others to orchestrate care within the cancer centers and across the health care continuum, to identify opportunities to continually improve patient care and services, to improve health of the oncology population, and to achieve collaborative practices that exemplify MultiCare Health System’s commitment to patient centered care and community engagement.
