Patient Assistance Fund
Medication Assistance
Our Patient Assistance Fund helps to provide our patients with the medications and travel expenses they need, but aren’t always able to afford. This fund was implemented to help deliver better care and compassion to the patients of Grays Harbor Public Hospital District No. 1. The assistance is provided in two separate forms: by subsidized or free prescription assistance and also by transportation assistance in the form of gasoline cards.
Comfort for Kids Program
This program allows our Emergency Department and Urgent Care staff the means to provide stuffed animals and stickers to our youngest patients. More than 3,000 children come through our doors each year needing care for an injury or illness. Hospitals are a scary place for kids, and these gifts help kids calm down and leave as happy patients. If you would like to help us bring comfort to children, please visit our Amazon Wishlist.
Student Scholarship Fund
Since 1996, this fund has awarded 99 scholarships totaling more than $86,000 to area high school seniors pursuing a degree in the medical field. Employees started the scholarship fund, which is now open to the public to support. The scholarship fund demonstrates Summit’s commitment to our community’s future health and wellness. It is our hope that recipients will return to Elma and work at Summit Pacific when they receive their degrees.
Employee Assistance Fund
The Foundation’s newest fund aims to provide one-time grants to Summit employees facing exceptional personal hardship. While FMLA assists with necessary family leaves of absence, this fund specifically provides relief for staff .5 FTE or greater in good standing who have experienced a medical emergency or an accident or loss of home due to natural causes requiring the employee to take time away from work.
