David Bradburn, MD, Announced as Hospice Medical Director

Adventist Health Tillamook is pleased to announce the appointment of David Bradburn, MD, as Hospice Medical Director. Dr. Bradburn returns from retirement in February 2024, bringing decades of experience, deep community connection, and a renewed commitment to serving patients and families during some of life’s most meaningful moments.

Dr. Bradburn has served the Tillamook County community since 1998, earning a reputation as a trusted, compassionate family physician dedicated to whole-person care. Most recently, he practiced at Adventist Health Medical Office – Plaza in Tillamook, where patients valued his clinical expertise, thoughtful presence, and patient-centered approach.

In his role as Hospice Medical Director, Dr. Bradburn will serve in a direct, patient-facing capacity in addition to providing hospice medical leadership. His return reflects a desire to continue caring for patients and families at the bedside, not solely administrative oversight.

“I’m happy to be asked to serve our community again,” said Dr. Bradburn. “Hospice care is deeply personal, and I value the opportunity to support patients and families with compassion, dignity, and presence during this important stage of life.”

Adventist Health Tillamook Hospice provides comprehensive, interdisciplinary care focused on comfort, support, and quality of life for patients and their loved ones. Dr. Bradburn’s leadership and experience further strengthen the program’s mission to deliver compassionate, whole-person care rooted in trust and relationship.

“We are grateful to welcome Dr. Bradburn into this role,” said Eric Swanson, President of Adventist Health Tillamook. “His long-standing commitment to Tillamook County, combined with his willingness to return in a hands-on clinical role, reflects the heart of hospice care and the values we strive to live every day.”
