We're thrilled to share our vision and plans for a transformative hospital expansion that aims to redefine healthcare delivery in Grays Harbor. Our upcoming expansion is designed with you in mind, focusing on key areas that will significantly elevate our ability to meet evolving healthcare needs:

Increased Acute Care Beds: We're doubling our acute care bed capacity from 10 to 20, with flexibility to expand to 25 beds, ensuring we can meet growing demands.

Revamped Emergency Department: Significant expansion will increase treatment spaces from 10 to 16, improving response capabilities and reducing wait times for critical care.

Patient-Centric Enhancements: Our project prioritizes patient care with expanded triage areas, designated mental health rooms, larger trauma facilities, and improved waiting areas for enhanced comfort.

Streamlined Patient Flow: Innovative design changes promise a smoother patient experience, emphasizing efficiency and safety throughout our facility.

Financial Approach: We're committed to responsible financial management. Our $60 million expansion will be financed through revenue bonds, ensuring no tax increases or service cost hikes for our community. This strategy offers stability, future financial flexibility, and a timely execution to better serve you.
