Collaborating before competing
EvergreenHealth one was one of the first health systems to join Project Access Northwest in 2006 when the organization began. Bob Malte, the current CEO, continued that commitment when he joined EvergreenHealth in 2010.
“Our health care community shares a core calling to serve the greater good. We are committed to taking care of our community and collaborating before we compete. Even with the Affordable Care Act, many Medicaid patients have difficulty seeing a specialist, especially patients who are not part of an organized health delivery system. So Project Access Northwest continues to have a very important role to play — helping people navigate a sometimes overly complex health system.”
