EvergreenHealth is a financially strong healthcare system supported by the residents of the communities it serves. For over three decades, the Board has wisely stewarded hospital financial resources – prudently growing to ensure that over 850,000 residents in the hospital district have access to high quality healthcare on the Eastside.

EvergreenHealth is facing a challenging environment, getting paid less every year from government and commercial insurers–yet its mission remains steadfast–to advance the health of communities it serves through dedication to high quality, safe, compassionate, and cost-effective healthcare.

I am a current Board Commissioner looking forward to continuing to ensure that EvergreenHealth remains financially strong and strategically positioned to meet the needs of our growing Eastside communities. I bring 25+ years of accounting, audit, finance and investments experience. I lead the Audit and Finance Committee and serve on the Board Quality and Governance committees. As an EvergreenHealth Community Advisor for six years, I gained a solid understanding of the depth and breadth of hospital’s medical specialties, staff and facilities, and extensive partnerships and affiliations. My board governance training will help ensure the Board continues its work with openness and transparency.

I look forward to continuing in my position as Board Commissioner.
