Thank You, Verdant Health Commission!

CHS is immensely grateful to Verdant Health Commission for their generosity and partnership during an incredibly challenging time.

Following the devastating fire that destroyed our Lynnwood office this summer, Verdant’s emergency funding and generous donation of interim office space have provided us a lifeline as we recover and rebuild.

On behalf of our staff, clients, and board of directors, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Verdant Health Commission for standing with us in this rebuilding journey!
