Diane Blake, CEO Dear Community, It is a pleasure to share this year’s annual report with you. Inside you’ll find a snapshot of our care by the numbers for 2024, read about what’s new at your community medical center, and enjoy some team and service highlights. As you peruse, I hope you’ll find a strong sense of community connecting these pages together. Our partnership with you is central to our work and strongly infuses everything we do. In 2024, we continued to grow services, giving you more options to receive trusted care close to home by launching a cardiac rehabilitation program and offering new services such as outpatient ultrasounds, echocardiograms and wound care. We also improved existing services, such as ensuring regular access to same and next-day clinic appointments while also ensuring new patients could establish care with our family medicine team in record time. Another enhancement to an existing service was achieving stroke program certification, a seal of approval on this emergency medicine care to make sure high quality, timely care is available for you and your loved ones when minutes matter most. We also continue to listen to you, seek your input and learn more about your needs so that as we continue to grow, we do so in a way that best supports you. As this report lands in your mailbox, we’ll just be finalizing feedback we received from you through survey responses and focus group meetings. This is something we do every three years as part of our Community Health Needs Assessment process. What we learn from you informs our strategic plan, ensuring your needs shape our plan for future growth and improvements. We also offer other ways to stay connected, such as attending our public board meetings, visiting with us at engagement nights, and emailing us your feedback or questions at contactus@ cascademedical.org. And, finally, we’ll be asking you to let us know what you think by voting on an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) levy this April 22. The EMS levy provides funding to help sustain Ambulance and Emergency Department services. You can read more about it on our website at cascademedical.org/emergency-medical -services-levy or email your questions to emsinfo@cascademedical.org. Thank you for staying connected with us and entrusting us with your care. It is a privilege to be partners in your health. 2 2025 Report to Our Community
