Our History
Verdant Health Commission, also known as Public
Hospital District No. 2, Snohomish County, is a public
entity that works to support the health and wellbeing of the
residents of our service district. Through grant funding,
community education, and partnerships, we advocate for
all people in the South Snohomish County community to
have access to basic health resources that contribute to
their well-being and address the underlying causes of poor
health. We have a long history as a public resource
working to improve the health of our residents by leading
with compassion, working collaboratively, and focusing on
health equity.
Public Hospital District No.2, Snohomish County formed in
1962. We operated what was then called Stevens Hospital
until 2010, when we entered into a long-term lease
agreement with Swedish Health Services. At that time, our
Board of Commissioners created the Verdant Health
Commission to invest in community health program that
support our residents. From 2011 through 2022, this
investment totaled more than $70 million.
