KIRKLAND, Wash., July 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Seattle Met magazine recently named 89 providers and nurses within the EvergreenHealth network to the publication's comprehensive "Top Doctors 2013" list that honors the top-performing medical practitioners in the Puget Sound region.

Each year, Seattle Met publishes the results of its annual survey, which accepts nominations from 25,000 medical professionals across the region, and highlights the top 12 percent of doctors and nurses within a range of fields and specialties.

Today, I'm honored to recognize many of our doctors and nurses who were recognized by their peers as exceptional providers, and chosen by Seattle Met as this year's 'Top Doctors,'" said Bob Malte, CEO of EvergreenHealth.
