Skagit County Superior Court, Case No. 25-2-00449-29

This notice is to clarify and correct that the Skagit Regional Health Foundation was not a party to the lawsuit and was mentioned in error.

A court authorized the notice.  You are not being sued. 

This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

 

A Settlement has been reached in a Class Action lawsuit claiming that Defendant, Public Hospital District No.1, Skagit County, Washington d/b/a Skagit Regional Health (“Defendant” or “Skagit Regional”) disclosed confidential personally identifiable information (“PII”) and/or protected health information (“PHI”) (collectively referred to as “Private Information”) to third-party technologies without patient consent. Skagit Regional firmly denies all of Plaintiff’s claims in the lawsuit and maintains that it did nothing wrong but has agreed to the Settlement to avoid the expense, burden, and uncertainties associated with continuing litigation.
