That’s a wrap on another amazing year at the Good in the Hood Multicultural Festival! 🥳

We proudly walked in the parade and stood alongside our community in celebration, culture, and connection.

At the festival, our Trauma Nurses Talk Tough team showed up in a big way — giving away 100 free bike helmets, offering discounted helmets, and donating bikes, scooters, skateboards, and helmets for raffle prizes. 🛴🚲

Our health and resources booth also allowed guests to learn more about Legacy Health and the programs and services we offer to support our community every day.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, joined the parade, or helped make this weekend special. We’re honored to keep showing up for the community that continues to show up for each other. 💜💙💛

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully reached a fair and equitable agreement with Cigna, ensuring that all Cigna commercial members will remain in-network for Legacy services. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated providers and staff for their advocacy and to our courageous patients and community members who have shared their stories and voiced their concerns. We are pleased that we will be able to continue to provide quality care to our patients with Cigna coverage. We remain committed to our mission of good health for all our patients, communities, and our world. Read more: https://bit.ly/3ZVLYUW

With only days remaining before our current agreement ends, it’s increasingly likely that most Legacy Health hospitals and providers will be out-of-network for Cigna commercial members starting July 1 (excluding Silverton).

We’ve spent the past year negotiating for fair, equitable reimbursement rates that reflect the rising costs of care. Despite our efforts, we are not where we need to be to reach a new agreement.

We know how stressful and uncertain this situation is for our patients, and we remain committed to helping you stay informed and supported at every step. Please visit the link for updates, resources, and guidance on next steps: https://bit.ly/3I2g5UI

As we near the end of June, I want to provide you with the latest update on our negotiations with Cigna.

Dr. Cory Donovan, a surgical oncologist at Legacy Health, sees the emotional toll cancer takes on her patients every day. Now, many of them—midway through treatment—are facing the added stress of possibly losing access to the providers they trust.

She’s concerned not just about delayed surgeries or disrupted care plans but the weight patients are being asked to carry in the middle of their most vulnerable moments.

Dr. Donovan urges Cigna to take meaningful action—not just for the system but also for the people caught in the middle. Read more from Dr. Donovan: https://bit.ly/4njFEkf

Dr. Nick Kashey highlights the challenges patients could face if Legacy Health’s contract with Cigna ends—especially in rural communities with limited access to care.

Many could experience extended delays or be forced to find new providers. And for those who choose to stay with their current doctor, the out-of-network costs could be overwhelming.

Dr. Kashey urges Cigna to recognize the strain this decision could place on patients with few alternatives. Read more from Dr. Kashey: https://bit.ly/4kW5XeB

With nearly 20 years of experience serving the community, he’s seen firsthand how much patients value continuity of care—and how disruptive losing access can be.

Dr. Lowder urges Cigna to consider the real-life consequences for patients and the relationships they’ve built with trusted providers. Read more from Dr. Lowder: https://bit.ly/44haQrM

We understand that the ongoing contract negotiation with Cigna may cause anxiety and confusion. Legacy remains in regular conversations with Cigna to reach a fair agreement that protects your access to the doctors, nurses, and care teams you trust.

If no agreement is reached by June 30, 2025, many Cigna members could face higher out-of-pocket costs or disruptions in care.

We are committed to putting patients and communities first and will continue advocating for fair, equitable reimbursement. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3HDRm92

Our Primary Concern: Maintaining your access to essential care. We are committed to finding a solution that puts patients and communities first, and we will remain at the table with Cigna to ensure fair and equitable reimbursement.

We were happy to host blanket donation bins.
Together we all made a difference. You put smiles on so many tiny faces. Thank you all for your support.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and we’ve kicked it off with our annual pinwheel planting in the Children’s Garden at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center. 💙

Each year, CARES Northwest and Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel plant blue pinwheels to symbolize the importance of safe, healthy childhoods—and to remind our community that preventing child abuse is a shared responsibility.

Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center staff are also showing their commitment this year by hanging blue pinwheels on the hospital’s sky bridge, creating a powerful visual reminder for everyone who walks through.

You can join us in raising awareness by participating in Wear Blue Day:
🔹 Friday, April 4 – CARES Northwest and many of our Oregon community partners will wear blue.
🔹 Thursday, April 10 – The Child Abuse Assessment Team (CAAT) and Legacy Salmon Creek community in SW Washington will wear blue in solidarity.

Drop a 💙 in the comments to show your support. Let’s stand united for children and families—this month and every month.
