Phase 1 of the Expansion is Now Complete!

A New Chapter for Summit Pacific

This fall marks an exciting new chapter for Summit Pacific Medical Center and the community it serves. On September 8, Summit Pacific welcomed its first patients into the hospital’s much-anticipated expansion—a milestone made possible through years of planning, teamwork, and strong community support.

The new space was thoughtfully designed to make care more comfortable, accessible, and personal. Every detail reflects Summit Pacific’s commitment to keeping exceptional care close to home.

Highlights of the Expansion

  • Twenty private Acute Care Unit rooms that offer privacy, dignity, and a peaceful healing environment
  • Restorative Care Program, providing rehabilitative support for patients recovering from illness, injury, or surgery—right here in Grays Harbor County
  • Enhanced comfort and connection, with spaces built to promote healing and support time with family and friends

Looking ahead, construction is underway on the next phase of our Emergency Department expansion, which will include:
  • Additional trauma rooms
  • Increased capacity
  • A new helipad

  • When complete in 2026, these improvements will help Summit Pacific deliver faster, more efficient emergency care—right when it’s needed most.
