Stevens Hospital to affiliate with Swedish

A deal to allow Swedish Medical Center to lease and takeover management of Stevens Hospital in Edmonds has been given the go-ahead, according to a statement released by Stevens Hospital Thursday.

The Board of Commissioners for Public Hospital District #2 of Snohomish County approved the “non-binding terms for Swedish to lease and assume management of Stevens”, which, pending regulatory approvals, should go into effect next summer, the statement said.

Proposed 30-Year Lease Agreement will help Stevens Hospital expand, improve quality of care and offer more services, the statement said.

“Even though Stevens Hospital is financially strong, it needed to seek a strong partner to ensure it continues to improve and grow the services of the hospital to meet the growing needs of the community,” the statement said.
