EvergreenHealth will continue to use levy funding to help support free and low-cost community education classes, programs, and events on a wide variety of everyday and specialized health and wellness topics, developed by experts and available to everyone in our community.
LEVY FUNDED PROGRAMS:
The Community Healthcare Access Team (CHAT) is probably EvergreenHealth's flagship levy-funded community service:
- If you have a loved one looking for quality long-term care CHAT will help you. Trust me, this is a great service. We were "left on our own" when my mother in California desparetly needed a decent long-term home.
- CHAT also offers financial assistance, insurance coverage "navigators", and assistance for low-income and underinsured.
- CHAT partners with Hopelink for psycho-social asistance and transporting patients.
The EvergreenHealth levy invests in our youth and seniors:
- They provide four social workers at LWSD for help during a mental health crisis.
- The North Shore School District hires levy-funded mental health therapists to provide access to mental health providers. They held 2,961 visits in 2024.
- Levy provide access to "Paliative" support for you and family members facing serious illness; and Hospice care.
- There's access to geriatric care for seniors with demenia and behavioral health problems.
EvergreenHealth offered access to 114 community-funded educational health classes in 2024, including the "Youth Suicide Emergency Kit."
I hope this levy information is helpul in deciding your vote on the August 5th Levy Lid Lift measure.
