Samaritan Hosting Town Halls to Discuss MultiCare Affiliation November 4, 2025 Plans are underway for Samaritan Health Services to affiliate with MultiCare Health System and Samaritan leaders are inviting the public to learn more at a series of upcoming town halls across the region. Each session will be hosted by Marty Cahill, president and CEO of Samaritan Health Services, together with Samaritan hospital and system leadership. Attendees will hear detailed presentations about the planned MultiCare affiliation and have the opportunity to ask questions during an open Q&A session. Because many community members have also expressed interest in learning more about Medicare and Medicare Advantage health plans, licensed health insurance agents who specialize in Medicare will host informational tables at each in-person event to answer questions before and after the presentations. Register for a Town Hall Near You Registration is required, and seating is limited at each in-person event. Our initial events in the valley have filled so we have added an additional event at the Boulder Falls Event Center on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
