EvergreenHealth - King County Public Hospital District #2
EvergreenHealth serves it's community well. An exception is their almost complete non- performance in treating mental illness. COVID removed stigma, raised awareness; uncovering the high incidence of those struggling. They could do better and they're not.
Overall though, we are blessed to have EvergreenHealth in our community and region. They were the Nation's "first responders" during the pandemic onslaught and are deserving of every award earned,
For a hospital with their pandemic experience and resources they should have no problem finding bandwidth for mental health beds, virtual behavioral health therapy and mental health social workers for it's three school districts.
It's seven Hospital Commissioners listen to their constituents and make decisions for Levy programs and Bond measures. They take comments from the public and community during: 1) their Business meeting, 3rd Tuesday, 6:30pm, 2) their Educational Sessions, 1st Friday of the month, 7 a.m. in Chambers, Tan Room 250).)
Below, is decade's long news and my accounting of EvergreenHealth towards the implementation of mental health treatment and care. I'm almost certain they will do better.
