EvergreenHealth Successfully Negotiates Contract With United Healthcare

EvergreenHealth community-owned hospital

EvergreenHealth is the largest public hospital in the State of Washington. It is community-owned and remains independent of the large hospital chains.  Recently, EvergreenHealth successfully negotiated a new contract with United Healthcare so there's no longer a need to switch to another provider. 

Dr. Etorre Palazzo is CEO.  He's a great guy, warm and accessible, especially during their public meetings. Here's a short clip of Etoree (1.5 min) explaining Evergreen's attributes and mission in our community. He's done much enlarge their capacity of services, including mental health treatment in primary care clinics and emergency departments.

And, very special to me, my daughter was born here many years ago!
