discussed ideas, a spokesperson for each table described their ideas. Participants then walked
around and selected their top two choices. The full group then discussed which topic rose to the
top. The facilitators will work on a plan for next steps and a final project will be discussed at the
)April 2020 joint meeting.
Closing Comments

tip line is monitored 24/7 and will be advertised throughout the schools in a variety of ways.

building in Smokey Point. It will be remodeled for the District's administrative space, where
community health services and resources will be provided to the community.
Danny Vera shared that Skagit Regional Health continues to recruit specialty doctors, including
an orthopedic surgeon and cardiac care doctors. The orthopedic clinic next to hospital will be
moving out to the larger Smokey Point Clinic and the cardiac care unit will move to the building
near the hospital.
