EvergreenHealth seeking community adviser candidates

Published 11:03 am Tuesday, October 14, 2014

EvergreenHealth is currently recruiting volunteers for its community advisers program. Members of the community advisory group help guide the organization and shape future services and programs through direct interaction with EvergreenHealth’s elected board and key administrative leaders.

Community advisers attend nine educational sessions throughout the year focusing on health care issues impacting the community and EvergreenHealth services that address those issues. Additionally, they serve on internal EvergreenHealth committees, such as the ethics and board quality committees, and as ambassadors, representing EvergreenHealth at community events.

Board-appointed volunteers serve three-year terms commencing in January, with the option to renew after each three-year term. Community advisers may serve up to nine years. Qualifications include community involvement, professional and/or volunteer experience, strong communication skills and an interest in health care delivery. Advisers must be residents of the EvergreenHealth district, which encompasses Bothell, Duvall, Kenmore, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish and Woodinville.

Applications are available online at www.evergreenhealth.com/advisors, by calling (425) 899-2491 or emailing mawaddell@evergreenhealth.com.
