REAL PEOPLE. REAL CARE. Care for the Whole Family—from the Littlest Ones to the Young at Heart. 2025 ANNUAL REPORT
Diane Blake Chief Executive Officer Reflecting on 2025 and Looking Ahead to What’s Next Dear Friend of Cascade Medical, As we reflect on the past year, it was a meaningful one for Cascade Medical. I am grateful for what we were able to accomplish together as a community. We are especially appreciative of your vote of confidence in the EMS levy. This continued support ensures our services remain strong and ready to care for you when minutes matter. We added weekly on-site MRI and additional ultrasound days, saw strong participation in our Think Pink October mammogram initiative, and celebrated the first graduates of our CNA Apprenticeship Program with Mountain Meadows. Our rehabilitation and sub-acute services also continued to grow, helping patients recover from surgery, illness, and other medical needs while maintaining independence and quality of life. The trust our community places in us every day is something we do not take lightly. It is the reason we continue to grow, improve, and show up with the level of care our patients and families deserve. That trust is met by a team that is deeply committed to this place and the people who live here. Their compassion and dedication are what make Cascade Medical what it is. As we look ahead, our focus remains on expanding access to primary care; strengthening partnerships; and continuing to provide high-quality, compassionate care close to home. Thank you for being part of our community and for trusting us with your care. With gratitude, Photography by Heidi Swoboda | Swoboda Photography 2

KRISTA CAMBURN, RN ACUTE CARE NURSE Cascade Staff for 10 years In October 2025, I came to Cascade Medical for a routine mammogram— an appointment I nearly skipped because life felt too busy. A colleague and close friend encouraged me to take an open appointment while I was on shift, and I’m incredibly grateful I did. Having experienced benign fibroids since my early twenties, I didn’t think anything serious was wrong, but I’m so glad I didn’t put it off. That decision changed everything. My screening revealed early-stage breast cancer. Catching it early gave me options and allowed me to make informed decisions about my care. Because it was caught so early, I can say today I am in complete remission and did not require chemotherapy or radiation. My experience reinforced how critical routine screenings and early detection truly are, even when life feels busy. Cascade is a close-knit environment where people genuinely care, and that shows in how patients are treated. The responsiveness, compassion, and personal connection made a meaningful difference in my experience. What stood out most was the support I received every step of the way. I had a dedicated advocate who helped coordinate my care, answer questions, guide me through the process, and ensure I could access specialized treatment at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. Because my cancer was caught early, I was able to choose a bilateral mastectomy with reconstructive surgery, an option I’m deeply grateful to have had. I never felt like I was navigating it alone. During my time away from work, I was surrounded by support from my wonderful husband, family, colleagues, and community—and that support has continued even after my return. Cascade is a place where patients are met with compassion, respect, and understanding. I’m proud to be part of Cascade, not only as a nurse but as someone who has experienced this care as a patient.
