Blake Vintertun
Director, Operations & Preparedness
What I do at EvergreenHealth Monroe Foundation:
As Director, I work with our Board of Trustees, hospital leadership and our physicians to build relationships with members in our community. Together, we work to find ways to provide meaningful support to EvergreenHealth Monroe. With our generous supporters’ investments, we ensure that each patient receives the highest quality care.
What I do outside of EvergreenHealth Monroe Foundation:
Outside of EvergreenHealth Monroe, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our golden retriever, Ellie. We live in Duvall and on a typical weekend you can find us going on a run, hanging with family and friends, or heading to a Mariners or Hawks game. I’m always looking to improve my golf game which means many days and nights spent at the driving range or on the course!
Sue Skillen
Manager, EvergreenHealth Monroe Foundation
What I do at EvergreenHealth Monroe Foundation:
As the Manager at EvergreenHealth Monroe Foundation, I oversee and manage the foundation’s key programs and events designed to support and enhance the work of EvergreenHealth Monroe. My role includes overseeing the planning and execution of fundraising events, as well as crafting and implementing strategies to raise critical funds that sustain and propel the foundation’s growth.
What I do outside of EvergreenHealth Monroe Foundation:
I cherish spending quality time with my family. My husband, Mike, and I have called Monroe home for over 40 years, where we have raised our two daughters and are now enjoying the joy of five grandchildren, with a great-grandchild on the way. We love attending our granddaughter’s sporting events and supporting them in all their activities.
In addition, I have a passion for rock painting, a hobby I initially started with my grandkids when they were little. While they may have outgrown the activity, I have continued to enjoy it as a creative and relaxing way to unwind.
Charlotte Michaelson
Annual Giving & Events Specialist
What I do at EvergreenHealth Monroe Foundation: As the Annual Giving & Events Specialist, I support EvergreenHealth Monroe Foundation’s annual giving campaigns, donor communications, and fundraising events. My background at Texas A&M University and the YMCA shaped my commitment to meaningful work. I work closely with EvergreenHealth Monroe Foundation leadership to support day-to-day fundraising activities that connect the hospital and the Foundation to the community.
What I do outside of EvergreenHealth Monroe Foundation:
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and recharging somewhere warm. I often plan travel around running events or visits to my children, who are both attending college in Arizona—two good reasons to seek out the sun!
