About 100,000 Clark County residents who receive health insurance through Kaiser Permanente Northwest could find themselves using Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center for hospital services under a sweeping new agreement between the two medical giants.
The arrangement, announced Tuesday by Kaiser and Legacy offiicals, will increase employment at Legacy’s facility in Salmon Creek and rearrange where many people get their care.
