Governance

As a Public Hospital District, Evergreen is governed by a publicly-elected Board of Commissioners.  The Board has ultimate responsibility and accountability for the District, which is operated on behalf of the District's constituents.  The Board provides the legal oversight to help Evergreen strive to assure access by the community to high quality medical care and related services.  The Commissioners approve major financial decisions for the District, and have many other responsibilities as provided by law.

Evergreen and the Board of Commissioners value and appreciate input and feedback from the community.  You can provide your comments to the Board a number of ways, including:

• email
• postal mail to: Board of Commissioners, Evergreen Healthcare MS-28, 12040 NE 128th St., Kirkland, WA 98034.
• attend our public meetings; there is an oppportunity for public comment near the beginning of each meeting.

Public Meetings

Evergreen's Board of Commissioners typically meets at least twice each month, on the first and third Tuesday evenings. 

• The first Tuesday of the month is a Study Session, which is to consider matters for later decision by the Board and other information pertinent to the District. 
• The third Tuesday of the month is the Board's "Regular" Meeting, at which the Board takes official action on matters before it. 

The Board reserves the ability to modify its schedule for taking action as necessary to meet the needs of the District, which it does after public notice.

The Board's meetings are generally open to the public. There is an opportunity for public comment near the beginning of the Regular Board Meeting on the third Tuesday of the month.

Time:
5:30pm - meetings begin, and immediately recess into executive session (unless noted), which is not open to the public
6:30pm - open public meeting resumes

Location:
Room Tan 250
Adjacent to Evergreen Hospital, in the Evergreen Surgery & Physicians Center
