Resumes – including voter registration address and date of birth for eligibility verification – and letter of interest should be sent by regular mail or by email to Valerie Huffman, 9801 Frontier Ave SE, Snoqualmie, WA 9806 or by email (preferred) to valerieh@snoqualmiehospital.org.

After several months of working on an affiliation with a larger health care organization, on March 8, 2018, the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital District Board voted unanimously to discontinue affiliation talks with Astria Health, based in central Washington.
According to SVH CEO Tom Parker, the hospital district was not coming to agreement on some major deal points, including the “retention of cash by the District and the District’s role, post transaction, with respect to community health and wellness.”
The district also had a goal of affiliating with an organization that had a well-established, recognized brand, which Astria Health did not meet.
