It has been our family’s experience that the people of Arlington are extremely fortunate to receive such excellent medical care within our own home community. Over the past three months our family has been facing stage four cancer with the outstanding doctors and staff at the Cascade Valley Hospital and their partners in the Cascade Skagit Health Care Alliance. These two organizations, in partnership with the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, have provided a superior level of care such as that seen in the world-renowned, larger cancer care facilities in Seattle.
As our son, husband and father makes his final journey through stage four cancer, it is comforting to know he has received care equivalent to other larger cancer care facilities without leaving home and with the added benefit of being in a smaller and perhaps more personalized system. We are particularly grateful to Dr. Kiarash Kojouri and his staff at the Cascade Skagit Health Care Alliance for their expertise and compassionate care. Dr. Kojouri’s highly professional, practiced and yet gentle manner was a support to our entire family and has left us knowing everything that could be done, was done. We remain grateful to him, his staff and the entire staff of our community hospital and health care alliance. We are indeed fortunate to live in this community.
