EvergreenHealth is seeking people to server as community advisors. Those selected offer input to the EvergreenHealth Board of Commissioners and administration.

Advisors attend nine educational sessions throughout the year where they learn about health care issues facing the community and about EvergreenHealth programs and services to address those issues. Additionally, they serve on internal EvergreenHealth Medical Center task forces and committees and represent EvergreenHealth at regional community events.

The 36 advisors are volunteers and serve three-year terms beginning in January. Qualifications include community involvement, professional and/or volunteer experience, strong interpersonal, oral and written skills and an interest in health care delivery.

Advisors must be residents in the EvergreenHealth District (King County Public Hospital District No. 2), which encompasses Sammamish and several other cities.

Deadline for applications is Oct. 31.
