STRATEGIC PLANNING: PURPOSE AND PROCESS
Healthcare continues to go through transformation and the Pandemic highlighted the unmet
healthcare needs of the residents of South Snohomish County. Recognizing the challenges hospitals
and clinics are facing, the board of commissioners began strategic planning to refine the scope of
Verdant’ s work and ensure that funding is focused on the greatest needs for healthcare services in
the community.
Commissioners dedicated August and September 2022 to strategic planning meetings and all
Verdant staff were involved in the process. As the four priorities evolved, staff worked to shape the
key strategies that were then discussed with commissioners and finalized. This written plan is the
culmination of a review of numerous community health reports and thoughtful discussions about how
to ensure all residents of South Snohomish County have access to healthcare services.
