Let’s encourage the men in our lives to stay proactive about their health, schedule that appointment, have the conversation, and make wellness a priority.



💙 Noviembre es el Mes de la Concientización sobre la Salud Masculina 💙
Este mes destacamos la importancia de la salud masculina, porque cuidar de tu salud es una de las cosas más fuertes que puedes hacer. ¡La detección temprana salva vidas! Habla con tu proveedor de salud sobre los exámenes de detección del cáncer de próstata y los chequeos de rutina. Animemos a los hombres en nuestras vidas a ser proactivos con su salud: programa esa cita, ten esa conversación y haz del bienestar una prioridad.

🚶‍♂️💙 New Research on Walking & Heart Health 💙🚶‍♀️

A new study is shedding light on more than just step counts. People who walk less than 5,000 steps a day, or who walk in short bouts of five minutes or less, are more likely to develop heart disease, according to the findings. Researchers also found that walking in longer, sustained bouts significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and overall mortality, even for those getting fewer than 8,000 steps per day. Cardiologists say the takeaway is simple, keep moving, and when you can, walk a little longer at a time.

• Start slow with a general increase in activity, like taking the stairs.
• Aim for at least 7,000 steps per day, then gradually work toward sustained walking sessions at a pace that feels “comfortably uncomfortable.” Try working up to 10 minutes at that effort.
• Add in resistance training or bodyweight exercises when you can, this brings additional health benefits.
• And remember: Consistency is key. Moving regularly matters more than being perfect.

Let’s keep stepping toward better heart health! 💙👣

11/19/2025

In alignment with local community organizations, and the Washington State Hospital Association (WSHA), Willapa Harbor Hospital is taking proactive steps to ensure the safety, privacy, and dignity of all patients, regardless of immigration or citizenship status.
The federal government has recently rescinded prior protections that instructed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to refrain from taking enforcement actions in “protected areas,” including hospitals, schools, and places of worship.
Despite these federal changes, Willapa Harbor Hospital remains a place of healing for everyone. Hospitals across Washington State are united in their commitment to provide care to all who need it, regardless of who they are or why they seek care. Earlier this year, Ocean Beach Health shared its public statement concerning its commitment to provide care to all who need it. At Willapa Harbor Hospital, we join with them in our mission and efforts to care for everyone in our Pacific County community. We want our patients and families to know they are safe here. We are taking deliberate steps to protect the privacy and security of those who seek care with us.
To date, Willapa Harbor Hospital has not experienced any immigration enforcement actions, nor is the hospital aware of such activity occurring at any other hospital in Washington State. However, the hospital has implemented measures to strengthen protections and provide clear guidance for staff in the event of enforcement activity.
Steps Willapa Harbor Hospital Is Taking
1. Controlling Access to Facilities:
The hospital is developing and implementing policies designating caregiving areas as private spaces, with access limited to authorized individuals only.
2. Providing Leadership and Staff Support:
Hospital leaders and staff are receiving training to ensure a calm and informed response to any immigration enforcement activity. Frontline staff are instructed to neither confirm nor deny a patient’s presence to immigration officials and to direct all enforcement actions to a designated point person.
3. Verifying Validity of Enforcement Requests:
A request or demand from ICE or CBP is not sufficient to access private hospital areas or patient information. The hospital is training staff to distinguish between valid court orders or judicial warrants and informal enforcement requests.
4. Maintaining Patient Privacy:
Willapa Harbor Hospital will comply with lawful court orders and warrants but will continue to follow all state and federal privacy laws. The hospital will not release identifying patient information unless legally required.
5. Offering “Opt-Out” from Directory Information:
Every patient has the right to “opt out” of the hospital’s public directory. This option prevents staff from confirming a patient’s presence or routing calls to them. The hospital encourages undocumented patients and their advocates to request this privacy protection if desired.

En alineación con las organizaciones comunitarias locales y la Asociación de Hospitales del Estado de Washington (WSHA), Willapa Harbor Hospital está tomando medidas proactivas para garantizar la seguridad, privacidad y dignidad de todos los pacientes, sin importar su estatus migratorio o de ciudadanía.
El gobierno federal ha rescindido recientemente protecciones previas que instruían al Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) y a la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP) a abstenerse de realizar acciones de cumplimiento en “áreas protegidas”, incluidos hospitales, escuelas y lugares de culto.

A pesar de estos cambios federales, Willapa Harbor Hospital sigue siendo un lugar de sanación para todos. Los hospitales en todo el estado de Washington están unidos en su compromiso de brindar atención a todas las personas que la necesiten, sin importar quiénes sean o por qué buscan atención. A comienzos de este año, Ocean Beach Health compartió una declaración pública reafirmando su compromiso de atender a todos los que lo necesiten. En Willapa Harbor Hospital, nos unimos a ellos en nuestra misión y esfuerzo para cuidar a todas las personas de nuestra comunidad del condado de Pacific. Queremos que nuestros pacientes y sus familias sepan que están seguros aquí. Estamos tomando medidas deliberadas para proteger la privacidad y la seguridad de quienes buscan atención con nosotros.

Hasta la fecha, Willapa Harbor Hospital no ha experimentado ninguna acción de cumplimiento migratorio, ni el hospital tiene conocimiento de actividad de este tipo en otros hospitales del estado de Washington. Sin embargo, el hospital ha implementado medidas para fortalecer las protecciones y proporcionar orientación clara al personal en caso de actividad de cumplimiento.

Medidas que está tomando Willapa Harbor Hospital

Controlar el acceso a las instalaciones:
El hospital está desarrollando e implementando políticas que designan las áreas de atención como espacios privados, con acceso limitado únicamente a personas autorizadas.

Proveer apoyo al liderazgo y al personal:
Los líderes y el personal del hospital están recibiendo capacitación para asegurar una respuesta tranquila y bien informada ante cualquier actividad de cumplimiento migratorio. Se instruye al personal de primera línea a no confirmar ni negar la presencia de un paciente a oficiales de inmigración y a dirigir cualquier acción de cumplimiento a una persona designada.

Verificar la validez de solicitudes de cumplimiento:
Una solicitud o demanda de ICE o CBP no es suficiente para acceder a áreas privadas del hospital ni a información del paciente. El hospital está capacitando al personal para distinguir entre órdenes judiciales válidas o “warrants” emitidos por un juez y solicitudes informales de cumplimiento.

Mantener la privacidad del paciente:
Willapa Harbor Hospital cumplirá con órdenes judiciales y mandatos válidos, pero continuará cumpliendo todas las leyes estatales y federales de privacidad. El hospital no divulgará información identificable del paciente a menos que sea requerido legalmente.

Ofrecer la opción de “exclusión” del directorio público:
Cada paciente tiene el derecho de “excluirse” del directorio público del hospital. Esta opción impide que el personal confirme la presencia del paciente o transfiera llamadas hacia él. El hospital alienta a los pacientes indocumentados y a sus defensores a solicitar esta protección de privacidad si así lo desean.
