Kinnon Williams for EvergreenHealth Hospital Commissioner

Kinnon Williams

As Vice-Chair of the Evergreen Healthcare Foundation, I’ve witnessed firsthand the needs of patients and caregivers. I know that for patients an important key to quality healthcare is providing physicians with the resources required to deliver the best affordable medical services available.

Facing significant change and the opportunity of new innovations, Evergreen Hospital needs new energy for new healthcare. As healthcare faces new challenges, I will offer a new perspective on the board. I also offer the experience and expertise gained as an elected utility District Commissioner, lawyer and business owner.  We will need a new view, tempered with proven leadership and experience as we navigate uncharted territory in healthcare reform.

Evergreen Hospital is at a pivotal juncture between changes in healthcare and tremendous advancements in technology. There is a need for more transparency in medical costs and how services are provided. Consumers must be able to make informed choices regarding not only the care that is best for them but how to best afford innovative treatments. 

I will promote preventative medicine and shepherd our limited public resources to take advantage of some of the best technology in the world right in our backyard. As a life-long resident of this community, local business owner and consumer I understand the frustration of facing the ever rising cost of health care and the complexity of medical service options.

Health care is changing and the next twenty years will be very different from the past twenty years. We cannot wait for a crisis to address the need for change. I will be a new voice to ensure a quality, affordable health care system for our community for years to come. I would appreciate your vote.
