As the potential sale of Hospice of the Northwest continues to spur debate, officials with the two hospital districts that own it say the sale is still being considered. Skagit Regional Health CEO Brian Ivie and board President Julie Blazek said Thursday the boards of Skagit Regional Health and United General District 304 are gathering information about Bristol Hospice, and considering what a sale may mean for regional end-of-life provider Hospice of the Northwest. âWeâre not at the decision-making process yet. We continue with information sharing and due diligence,â Ivie said. Blazek said Skagit Regional Health board members have appreciated the public input on the potential sale, which was proposed by Bristol Hospice, a for-profit company, more than a year ago. She said many of those who have commented have voiced concerns similar to those of the board members themselves.
