But todays Evergreen Healthcare does more than just provide acute hospital care Evergreen is active in the community with wellness initiatives designed to promote healthier lifestyles Programs like Healthcare Access make sure the communitys under and uninsured residents have access to affordable health care services Evergreen also created the Evergreen Medical Group to guarantee family practice physicians would always be available to the community

What began with a handful of northeast King County residents back in the mid60s has developed into the Eastsides most active full service health care provider and a true community asset

History

History
In the mid 1960s the move to the northeast King County suburbs was just beginning But a group of concerned residents envisioned a time in the future when the area would need its own hospital They proposed forming a public hospital district and raising the money to build that hospital with taxsupported bonds The voters approved formation of King County Public Hospital District No 2 in November 1967 and Evergreen General Hospital opened its doors on March 9 1972

Todays sprawling Evergreen Hospital Medical Center bears little resemblance to the modest threestory building that opened in 1972 Over the years the communitys support has been key to Evergreens development Additional voter approved bonds completed the hospitals third floor and added a fourth built a new emergency department and Medic One base and developed the Evergreen Hospice Center In 2004 voters showed their continued support by approving another bond to build an expanded Emergency Department and an inpatient facility to meet the growing need for health care services
