Skagit Valley Hospital

When you have cancer, choosing the right place to go for treatment can be a difficult decision.

If you live in Mount Vernon, you may want to stay in your community and receive cancer treatment at a hospital you know and trust. At the same time, you want access to the latest treatment options, including those only available in clinical trials or at a comprehensive cancer center. 

 The affiliation between Skagit Valley Hospital and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance gives you the best of both worlds—care in your own community by skilled and dedicated oncologists, nurses, and staff, plus access to the resources of SCCA and its parent organizations.

Good cancer care, now even better
Skagit Valley Hospital in Mount Vernon is a regional community hospital that serves Skagit County, north Snohomish County, and surrounding areas.

Skagit Valley Hospital is expanding rapidly to meet the needs of its community. A hospital expansion will more than double its size, and includes the new comprehensive Regional Cancer Care Center.
