Dear Community, we know these closures are frustrating to people seeking care on these day, but please be advised that Prompt Care will be closed October 10th, 13th, 14th, 24th, and 27th, due to staffing issues.

We are actively hiring for staff to minimize these occurrences, however, they will continue until we have been able to hire appropriately trained staff.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

UPDATE: While the hospital remains quite full, we have now come down from being in our Yellow Level of Surge. We will advise if another surge occurs. Thank you for your support!

Dear Community, it is happening again. We currently have every properly staffed bed full at the hospital, with 7 more patients waiting for beds in the Emergency Department. This means longer wait times in the ED and treating people in our triage area when possible. There is no single driving cause. We only have 2 COVID and no flu patients at the moment.

Please know that our CNO is working on a plan to open our 2nd floor. We don't have a clear timeline, but things are finally recovering from the pandemic job market enough that it is feasible. We know that doesn't solve things in the moment, but we are not ignoring the reality of the needs of our community.

Please be safe, and do your best to stay healthy.

Please join us in celebrating Molly McMillan, Volunteer Services, the Beacon Award recipient for September 2025!

Here is what was said about Molly:

I would like to nominate Molly for the Beacon Award for their dedication, initiative, and outstanding teamwork.

Today, I witnessed Molly demonstrate exceptional problem-solving and initiative by independently adjusting the size and layout of a set of brochures through the printer settings. Molly’s supervisor was pleasantly surprised to discover that Molly not only knew how to do this but took the initiative to complete the task without being asked. After reformatting the brochures, they carefully folded each one and ensured they were ready for distribution. Molly showed excellent work ethic and professionalism, making sure each brochure was polished, and on time.

Molly arrives each day ready to work, stays focused on their tasks, and consistently brings a positive and collaborative attitude to the team. Their reliability, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile are a true asset to our workplace.

Molly embodies the spirit of the Beacon Award shining through initiative, consistency, and quiet leadership.

And from your Supervisor
When Molly joined the Volunteer Department in 2009 she was not a “talker” all she would ever say is “thank you” “Yes please” and “NO”. Now she pretty much runs the show back here in the workroom 4 days a week. When leaving on vacation, she leaves me a list of things I need to do AND instructions on HOW to do them. Molly has faithfully come to work daily for 16 years with the exception of any school holiday (being raised by school teachers), some things just aren’t up for negotiation. From the very shy young lady to a confident ever learning team member, friendly & joyful. She has made many, many friends here at HRH while quietly performing her duties without a complaint or concern. Her work is perfection to the point she is sought out specifically to do certain projects simply due to her attention to detail. Personally Molly has impacted my life both professionally and personally, we are definitely “buds” and will continue that relationship well into the future. I thank you Molly for being such a bright star in our department. You are a shining example of the Beacon Award and I couldn’t be prouder than I am right now being able to present this to you.

There will be an announcement about Molly sent out to all staff and the Board of Directors, and Molly will be put into the running for our 2025 Lighting the Way Legend Award.

Thank you for lighting the way and congratulations!

This week we celebrate our Environmental Services team! 💙 Their hard work keeps our hospital safe, clean, and welcoming for every patient, visitor, and staff member. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and the essential role they play in delivering quality care. Thank you, EVS!

A special thank you to Dwayne Lunde, Director of Plant Services, for arranging the Mr. Taco truck to come out on Wednesday as a fun way to celebrate our EVS team. The event was open to all HRH staff working at the hospital that day and was a great way to show appreciation.

UPDATE 9/23: We are now out of surge, and have returned to regular service.

Dear Community,

We are currently experiencing another surge in hospitalizations. There is no single cause, but many factors are contributing. Every staffed hospital bed is full. As of this morning, we had up to six patients in the Emergency Department waiting for inpatient beds.

This situation limits the number of patients we can see in the ED, which means longer wait times. If your condition can be safely treated in our triage area, it will be.

We know this is frustrating and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience. Our team is working hard to return to normal operations as quickly as possible.

09/16/2025

PLEASE BE ADVISED: Due to staffing issues the Lab Draw Station at the Warren Medical Services Building (East Campus/Old St. Joe's) will be closed beginning Sept. 15th, reopening October 5th. Lab draws are still available at Community Hospital and the Family Medicine and OB/GYN clinic in Hoquiam.

We apologize for this inconvenience.

Please join us in celebrating Ambrocia Aparicio, MSN, RN is our most recent DAISY Award winner for the extraordinary care she showed her patient and their family!

From Ambrocia’s nomination:
“Recently my uncle who I am a caregiver for was admitted for end of life measures. My uncle had very specific DNR wishes in place. As difficult as it was for me to accept the end of his life, Ambrocia communicated in a dignified manner and assured me of the decisions I was making for the comfort of my uncle. We discussed how things might potentially go, best case scenario and worst case scenario. She went above and beyond to assure my uncle’s passing was as comfortable as it could be. Ambrocia assured me that she would be available at a moments notice if we needed her. Thanks to Ambrocia, I felt like I had some control over a very difficult situation. I will be forever grateful for her compassion, caring and professionalism.”

“Congratulations Ambrocia on being our latest DAISY award winner. Ambrocia exemplifies excellent patient care, she is an advocate for her patients, and an educator her less experienced team members. We are very fortunate to have her on our team!” -- Shannon Johnson MSN, RN, CNO

Ambrocia, thank you for being an inspirational and extraordinary nurse. You truly deserve this DAISY Award!

The DAISY Foundation Award is an international recognition program started in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Pat’s family experienced first-hand the difference his nurses made in his care through clinical excellence and outstanding compassionate care. The family created The DAISY Award to express gratitude to nurses and to enable other patients, families, and staff to thank and honor their special nurses.

On Thursday, Harbor Regional Health joined with our community to recognize International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) ahead of the official global observance on Sunday, August 31. Together, we gathered to shine a light on the impact of overdose in Grays Harbor, to honor the lives we have lost, and to celebrate those who are living in recovery.

As part of the event, we offered limited-edition shirts to raise awareness. Proceeds from every shirt go directly to support HarborCrest Behavioral Health, where lifesaving treatment and compassionate care are offered every day.

A special thank you to Alana, Linda, and Tracy for going above and beyond to package and deliver shirts, and for womaning the information booth at the Warren Building. Your dedication helped make this day a success.

Since its founding in 2001, International Overdose Awareness Day has become the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, reduce stigma, and acknowledge the grief felt by families and friends. By taking part, we affirm our commitment to prevention, treatment, and recovery—because every life matters.

08/30/2025

In honor of of Labor Day most of our outpatient services and clinic will be closed. As always, our emergency department, Family Birth Center, and Hospital departments will be open.

We hope you have a happy, fun, and safe Labor Day weekend!

Please join us in celebrating Whitney Wood, MSDA, RN, BSN, BSc, CCRN, Clinical Data Abstractor in the Quality Department, who recently achieved an important career milestone by earning her Master of Science in Data Analytics from Western Governors University. Driven by her passion for harm reduction and improving outcomes, she focused her studies on machine modeling in healthcare. For her thesis, she developed a time series model to forecast future drug overdose mortality rates in Washington State, work that has the potential to guide more targeted support for at-risk communities and ultimately save lives.

At Harbor Regional Health, we take pride in celebrating the professional growth of our team members. Whitney’s achievement is a testament to her dedication, compassion, and commitment to innovation. We are grateful to Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anne Marie Wong, who is currently overseeing the Quality Department, for her leadership in highlighting Whitney’s outstanding accomplishment.
