History
Summarize
Perspective
The Arlington General Hospital was built in 1909 as the first hospital-specific building in Snohomish County. A new hospital, named Cascade Valley, was built at the current campus in 1958, and was incorporated into the Snohomish County Public Hospital District No. 3 in 1964.[1][2] The hospital campus was rebuilt in 1987, and the district later expanded to cover most of northern Snohomish County in 1996.[2][3]
A major $45 million renovation was completed in 2010, adding a new building and remodeling the hospital to expand emergency services to accommodate a growing number of patients.[3][4] A helipad was built in 2015 to accommodate airlifted patients.[5]
In the 2010s, Cascade Valley remained as the last independent hospital in Snohomish County.[6] The hospital announced in 2013 that it would merge with PeaceHealth, but the merger was cancelled by PeaceHealth over issues with electronic records.[7] After evaluating new partners, including UW Medicine and Providence Health & Services,[6] Cascade Valley announced in 2016 that it would merge with Skagit Regional Health, the operator of Skagit Valley Hospital in Mount Vernon.[8] The two hospitals had already partnered in 2011 to build a medical clinic in Smokey Point, near Arlington, and Skagit has run outpatient chemotherapy programs for Cascade in the past.[2][9]
Facilities
Cascade Valley Hospital operates one general hospital in Arlington, and five clinics in Darrington, Granite Falls, and Smokey Point.[10][11]
