: These Hillsboro Medical Center employees participated in Hood to Coast together this past August.🏔️➡️ 🌊

Running the 196-mile Hood to Coast relay is no small feat, and was especially challenging this year due to the record-breaking heat. 🌡️

Despite the high temps, this team successfully reached the finish line! 🏁

Way to persevere and work together as a team (even outside of work)! 👟
