Whois & Analysis for peacehealth.org

PeaceHealth is a non-profit health care organization that operates ten hospitals in the Western United States.

Headquartered in Vancouver, Washington, the organization was founded by the Catholic Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace in 1976 and operates clinics and laboratories in Alaska, Oregon, and Washington.

Alaska is a U.S. state located in the northwest extremity of North America.

The Canadian administrative divisions of British Columbia and Yukon border the state to the east; its most extreme western part is Attu Island; it has a maritime border with Russia to the west across the Bering Strait.

To the north are the Chukchi and Beaufort seas–the southern parts of the Arctic Ocean.

The Pacific Ocean lies to the south and southwest.

Alaska is the largest state in the United States by area, the 3rd least populous and the least densely populated of the 50 United States.

Approximately half of Alaska's residents (the total estimated at 738,432 by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2015) live within the Anchorage metropolitan area.

Alaska's economy is dominated by the fishing, natural gas, and oil industries, resources which it has in abundance.

Military bases and tourism are also a significant part of the economy.

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.

Oregon is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by Washington, on the south by California, on the east by Idaho, and on the southeast by Nevada.

The Columbia River delineates much of Oregon's northern boundary, and the Snake River delineates much of the eastern boundary.

The parallel 42° north delineates the southern boundary with California and Nevada.

It is one of only three states of the contiguous United States to have a coastline on the Pacific Ocean, and its proximity to the ocean heavily influences the state's mild winter climate despite its northern latitude.

A health system, also sometimes referred to as health care system or as healthcare system, is the organization of people, institutions, and resources that deliver health care services to meet the health needs of target populations.

A nonprofit organization (also known as a non-business entity) is an organization whose purpose is something other than making a profit.

A nonprofit organization is often dedicated to furthering a particular social cause or advocating for a particular point of view.

In economic terms, a nonprofit organization uses its surplus revenues to further achieve its purpose or mission, rather than distributing its surplus income to the organization's shareholders (or equivalents) as profit or dividends.

This is known as the non-distribution constraint.

The decision to adopt a nonprofit legal structure is one that will often have taxation implications, particularly where the nonprofit seeks income tax exemption, charitable status and so on.
