Collabria Care

Since it was founded as Hospice of Napa Valley in 1979, Collabria Care has become a leading center for community-based care delivery and resources in the North Bay, for those facing transitions of aging, Alzheimer’s disease and other serious illness or the end of life. Collabria Care is now part of the Providence Health system.

Since then, we have grown into a vibrant non-profit organization with more than 125 employees and 130 volunteers serving Napa County and its surrounding communities. Our award-winning programs are created to respond to the current needs of our community, and additional programs are designed with a look towards the future needs of our aging population.
