About Us
Skagit Regional Health is a healthcare leader in northwest Washington state, providing advanced technology and high quality, patient-centered care to the people of Skagit, Island and north Snohomish Counties. The providers, clinicians and staff who provide compassionate care to patients in our facilities, live and play in the communities they serve.
The Skagit Regional Health system is diverse and comprehensive, offering a connected continuum of care across the region. The Skagit Regional Health system includes two acute care hospitals and approximately two dozen outpatient clinics; serving rural communities such as Darrington, island communities such as Camano and Anacortes and growing hubs such as Mount Vernon, Arlington and Smokey Point.
Our large health system connects patients with advanced services that were not previously accessible in smaller communities. For example, our continuum of care allows patients from Arlington to undergo state-of-the-art robotics surgery in Mount Vernon, while staying within their current health system and avoiding a trip through Seattle traffic. High demand and highly specialized services such as orthopedics, cancer care and cardiology are offered in multiple locations and accessible to Skagit Regional Health patients across the system. Our providers and specialists are connected by a single Electronic Health Record, so a patient’s primary care physician is always in sync with other members of their Skagit Regional Health care team.
Skagit Regional Health is committed to providing and enhancing healthcare services and has a vision to “transform healthcare by improving access, service, quality and efficiency in support of our goal of a healthier community.” In tandem with this commitment is the focus of our clinical teams to provide compassionate, patient-centered care to every patient, every time.
