COVID-19 Patient Update





Since we confirmed our first cases at EvergreenHealth (February 28) and EvergreenHealth Monroe (March 8), we have shared Daily Patient Updates with you, our community, in the spirit of informed transparency. Now that we have seen sufficient evidence that Flattening the Curve is working resulting in fewer confirmed cases and fewer inpatients, we are adjusting our reporting schedule to 1x/week (once per week). Thank you to our community for your support and your thoughtful participation in action, following guidelines that continue to help our region Flatten the Curve.

We continue to update this information each Monday by 2 p.m.

At EvergreenHealth and EvergreenHealth Monroe, we continue to monitor projections for COVID-19 cases in our region and prepare for a potential surge of COVID-19 patients. We have the ability to expand our capacity of beds dedicated to COVID-19 patient care and are prepared to adjust our capacity to continue providing this level of care for our community.
