In November, EvergreenHealth welcomed several state legislators to our Kirkland campus as they prepare for the upcoming session in Olympia! 🎈

These visits allowed us to share our role as a public hospital district, highlight our services, and discuss community investments.

Like many hospitals across Washington, EvergreenHealth faces significant financial challenges due to recent state and federal policy changes. We appreciate the opportunity to engage with our elected leaders on these issues and are grateful for their continued support and commitment to quality care.
