In the summer of 2024, Verdant Health Commission started a $9-million interior and exterior renovation project of the medical building formerly known as the Krueger Clinic. The clinic houses Swedish Urgent Care, multiple gastro providers, Swedish Pediatrics, Swedish Wound Center, a primary care provider and a dentist office.
On June 3 at 9 a.m., Verdant will host a grand reopening and celebrate the renaming of the building to the Langer Building in honor of former Verdant Commissioner Fred Langer. Commissioner Langer served Public Hospital District No.2, Snohomish County from 1998 to 2021 with honor until he passed away from a three-year battle from cancer.
The public is invited to attend and hear remarks from dignitaries including Karianna Wilson, Verdant Board of Commissioners President, Ed Rosen, City of Edmonds Mayor, and Kristy Carrington, CEO of Providence Swedish North Puget Sound. At 11 a.m., there will be an Open House for brokers interested in leasing available suites at the Langer Building.
“Verdant Commissioners are pleased to support the update of this highly utilized medical building to better serve the community. It is a fitting tribute to rename it in honor of former Commissioner Fred Langer who helped champion and lead the transition from Stevens Hospital to Swedish, and the formation of the Verdant Health Commission,” said Karianna Wilson, Board President.
Verdant Health Commission is South Snohomish County’s Public Hospital District that operated Stevens Hospital for around 50 years. Verdant continues to own the Edmonds hospital campus, currently leased to Swedish, and invests the lease revenue in community health programs by funding nonprofits.
Since 2011, Verdant has invested $87 million to increase access to free or low-cost health programs and services in South Snohomish County.
