History
It All Started Here In 1909
That year Dr JE Harris built Arlington General Hospital It was the first building erected for use as a hospital in Snohomish County and served the residents of Arlington and surrounding communities

Through two world wars and many changes in the surrounding communities Arlington General and many dedicated nurses and physicians continued to serve all those in need of health care

In 1958 a New Hospital Was Built
By the 1960s that new hospital was struggling financially In 1964 the community voted to tax themselves and form Public Hospital District 3 The district purchased Arlington General Hospital and renamed it Cascade Valley Hospital CVH

Since the 1960s the hospital has been remodeled twice and many services have been added A new hospital was built on the CVH campus in 1987 increasing the number of available beds and providing space for the everincreasing services offered

CVH Joins CVHampC
In 1996 Public Hospital District 3 with interested physicians formed North Snohomish County Health System NSCHS Today this health system known as Cascade Valley Hospital amp Clinics CVHampC includes the hospital and a variety of primary care and specialty clinics located in Arlington Smokey Point North Marysville Granite Falls and Darrington

Partners For Life
Even though the name the buildings and the faces of the doctors and nurses have changed the commitment to bring quality progressive friendly health care to Arlington and the surrounding communities has remained the same
