Snohomish County hosts healthcare discussion
Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon hosted a forum on healthcare yesterday in Lynnwood. Over 100 people attended the event, which was headlined by Mary McWilliams, Executive Director of the Puget Sound Health Alliance (PSHA).
The event emphasized the local nature and effect of healthcare policy, as opposed to similar events that have focused on federal policy reform implementation.
“We can’t wait for Congress to change the health-care system, we have to take control of local issues,” Reardon said. “There isn’t one organization that can fix the system. Companies, unions, employees and the medical community all have a role.”
McWilliams’s PSHA publishes a report titled Community Checkup annually. The Community Checkup is a report that provides information critical to evaluating the value and quality of medical care in our region.
