“After a year of working with management representatives from Evergreen, the investor groups, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid,  we are pleased to issue this order today that permits Evergreen Health to convert to a for-profit status and be acquired by investors,” said Commissioner Redmer. “This is a positive step forward for Evergreen Health, their 65 employees and the consumers they serve today and in the future. We expect the financial condition of the acquiring parties to ensure the company’s financial condition and protect the interests of its policyholders.”
