Values in Action: Sustainability in building for the future
Watch how Michelle Gjersee prioritizes sustainability when designing new facilities.
Sustainability is one of five core values for Skagit Regional Health. This value states:
We understand the importance of limited resources and prioritize their deployment to maximize care and health outcomes for the communities we serve now and in the future.
As a nonprofit healthcare provider serving as the community’s safety net, it is a priority for us to ensure every resource is used wisely to provide the best possible care for our patients. This core value guides thoughtful decision-making to maximize health outcomes while maintaining our long-term viability. Every cent and every resource count, making efficiency and strategic planning critical to sustaining high-quality care. By carefully managing medical, environmental and financial resources, Skagit Regional Health can continue to serve those in need today and for generations to come.
