In December, 14, 2010  "Mr. Malte, Superintendent of  Evergreen Healthcare, recommended Evergreen allocate $200,000 towards a "Community Health Initiative" with LWSD, Northshore, and Riverview School District."  These three districts reside within the boundaries of Evergreen's King County Hospital District #2.
    --Laurene H. Burton, Evergreen's Director of Governance and Public Records, 12/14/2010

This Spring, "Mr. Malte scheduled a meeting with the three local school district superintendents in the hospital district. Obesity and immunizations are possible collaboration themes. [Specific levy expenditures for this program haven't been authorized by the Hospital Commission.]
  -- Regular Board Minutes, 6/7/2011.  

No doubt, Dr. Kimball appreciates knowing you care about his participation with Evergreen and the Chamber to improve student health and wellness.  Of course, thanks goes to the Evergreen Hospital Commissioners and Malte for their leadership in this student health initiative.  
If you have input, suggestions, ideas for Evergreen's proposed community initiative please write Evergreen's Laurene Burton, lburtton@evergreenhealthcare.gov and Chip Kimball, ckimball@lwsd.org .
