Samaritan Health leaders are inviting the public to learn more at a series of upcoming town halls across the region to discuss the planned merger between Samaritan Health Services and MultiCare Health System.
Each session will be hosted by Marty Cahill, president and CEO of Samaritan Health Services, together with Samaritan hospital and system leadership. Attendees will hear detailed presentations about the planned MultiCare affiliation and have the opportunity to ask questions during an open Q&A session.
Because many community members have also expressed interest in learning more about Medicare and Medicare Advantage health plans, licensed health insurance agents who specialize in Medicare will host informational tables at each in-person event to answer questions before and after the presentations.
Registration is required, and seating is limited at each in-person event. To register or learn more, visit samhealth.org/Affiliation.
Local sessions are as follows:
