Keeping care local means being treated by familiar faces who put you at ease and help you return to your family and support system as quickly as possible — without the long drives or wait times that come with traveling out of the area.

Our home in the White Salmon area of the Columbia Gorge is growing, and demand for health services is increasing. Skyline Health has experienced double digit growth in many of our services. As your local community Public Hospital District, we are tasked with meeting the changing needs of the community.

In our recently adopted Community Health Needs Assessment, several needs were identified by community members. We heard you. Among those needs identified were increased access to services — specifically, specialty medical and behavioral health needs.

Skyline intends to respond to these needs by increasing our capabilities to keep more care local. To help accomplish those goals set by our community, the publicly elected commissioners of Skyline Hospital have proposed a levy lid lift on the April 28 special election ballot.

The work has already begun by hiring new physicians like Ryan Petering and Steve Matous. Dr. Petering is dually trained in Family Medicine and Sports Medicine, and Dr. Matous is Skyline’s second General Surgeon, joining Dr. Tyler Mittelstaedt. Hiring Dr. Matous allows Skyline to provide better surgical coverage for our community, especially our emergency department. We can and need to do more.
