Evergreen recruits Community Advisors to shape region’s health care services

Evergreen Hospital Medical Center is currently recruiting volunteers to help shape health care services through its Community Advisor Program. 

Advisors are residents in the Evergreen Hospital Medical Center District, which encompasses Redmond, Bothell, Kenmore, Kirkland, Sammamish, Woodinville, Duvall and portions of northeast, unincorporated King County. 

Community Advisors offer input to the Evergreen Board of Commissioners and Administration. They attend seven educational sessions throughout the year where they learn about health care issues facing the community and about Evergreen programs and services that address those issues. Additionally, they serve on internal Evergreen Hospital Medical Center task forces and committees and represent Evergreen Healthcare at regional community events.

There are a total of 36 Advisors. All are volunteers and serve three-year terms beginning in January. Qualifications include community involvement, professional and/or volunteer experience, strong interpersonal, oral and written skills and an interest in health care delivery. 

Applications are available online at www.evergreenhealthcare.org or by calling (425) 899-2664.  Applications will be accepted through Oct. 23.
