We ushered in 2024 full of hope and ignited in our purpose and our passion to care for others. Our collective efforts this past year sparked innovation and creativity, adaptability and resilience. We discovered new ways to work together and deliver care. While we continued to weather turbulence from many things outside of our control, we focused intent effort on stability, sustainability, and improved access to care our community needs.
We recently published our 2024 Gratitude Report, reflecting on this past fiscal year and highlighting the generosity and dedication of our community. In honor of your relationship with Valley, we wanted to share it with you and highlight our caregivers’ impact on our South King County community and ask for your support.
Valley continually works to care for our community like family by improving access to high-quality care for all by optimizing and expanding vital programs and services. Your support helps ensure we can continue to adapt and grow to meet the emerging needs of the residents within our public hospital district for years to come.

Our future is bright because of the support of our Board members, leaders, medical staff, employees, donors, volunteers, and community members like you.
Our extraordinary teams have proven time and time again that we are resilient, committed and ready for whatever challenges lie ahead. Thank you for being a bright and vibrant light that illuminates our journey.

Sadly, that effort doesn’t seem to include offering wheelchairs and/or assistance for people with disabilities. There are many of us who do not have family or nearby friends to jump to our needs.
As I previously pointed out to Jeannine Grinnell, CEO, the egregiously designed layout for your elder-care units is beyond ridiculous. TOP OF THE BUILDING; NOT A COMMON SENSE BOTTOM FLOOR, but TOP FLOOR!!
After we cross the walkway (from handicap parking) to get to the entrance with the stairs or ramp, we then walk across the lobby and take the elevator to the 5th floor. FROM THERE, WE WALK ANOTHER 500 FEET(?) to check in and then around the corner to the doctor’s office. Due to these barriers, I am no longer able to see my primary-care physician.
I doubt that things will change, but wanted to mention it one more time IF a different set of eyes may be reading this comment.
Thank you for taking the time to share with us about your concerns, feedback is a really important component of how we ensure our quality of care. Your comments will be sent to leadership.
