Silverton Health status unchanged

In December, Silverton Health Board of Directors Chair Gayle Goschie said she was hopeful she could announce “by February who Silverton Health has chosen as its partner.”

Last year, the board decided it was no longer fiscally responsible for Silverton Health to operate independently.  Both Goschie and Silverton Health President/CEO Rick Cagen said a partner had not been chosen as of early December.

SH Markeing Communications Director Rita Baiocco Kester said in late January “the status remains the same with nothing more to report at this time.” She said the board is still in the process of identifying available options for partnership.

“I don’t expect that we will be able to announce anything for a while, I think it will be at least a couple of months, maybe longer, before a decision is made and even then the board won’t be able to announce anything until a letter of intent is signed.”
