Evergreen Gala raises record-setting $2.2 million
EvergreenHealth patients, providers, and donors gathered at the new Columbia Collective in Woodinville on April 25 for a joyous evening of music and dancing, food and wine pairings by chef John Howie and Baer Winery, and a lively auction to benefit patient care at our community hospital. The seminal moment came when EvergreenHealth CEO Ettore Palazzo, MD, presented EvergreenHealth Trauma Services Manager, Barb Jensen, RN, with the Spirit of Giving Award, recognizing her decades of service to Eastside patients, and her leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The unprecedented $2.2 million donated during the gala, presented by Bellevue Healthcare, will support essential community programs, including access to behavioral health services, hospice care and programs to support victims of violence and trauma. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our guests and sponsors for your continued support. Your generosity will help us sustain and grow health programs that promote patient well-being and strengthen our community.
