How do a stay-at-home mom, a Boeing engineer and an IT consultant help determine the health care services offered by Evergreen Healthcare? As members of Evergreen’s Community Advisor program, they provide input on health care issues to Evergreen and its publicly-elected Board of Commissioners.
The Community Advisors attend educational sessions throughout the year, where they learn about healthcare issues facing the community and about Evergreen programs and services to address those issues. The sessions also provide an avenue for the Community Advisors to give their views to the Board of Commissioners and to Evergreen administrators. Recent educational sessions have looked at Evergreen’s strategic plan and program development, cancer care, spiritual care and diagnostic imaging.
As volunteers, the Community Advisors also serve on a variety of Evergreen task forces, and represent Evergreen at community events.
