Grays Harbor Community Hospital history

In November 1945, the name Grays Harbor Community Hospital was adopted to reflect the community ownership.

The new facility on Anderson Drive (Schweitzer Hill) was opened in December 1959.

As the community and its needs grew, a new patient tower was added in 1987.

In June 2006, the E.K. & Lillian Bishop Tower and Doctor Juris Macs Emergency Department opened, tripling the space of the hospital's existing emergency department.

In 2007 major renovations on 1st floor of East Campus were done and physical therapy (RehabVisions) was moved from ground floor to the new 1st floor location.

In 2008, a new laboratory was built in the shelled basement of the Bishop Tower and the imaging department was significantly expanded in size, with the addition of a 64 slice CT scanner and x-ray equipment.

In November 2009, The Wound Healing Center was built on the 3rd floor of East Campus and expansion of the endoscopy suite was done.

In 2010 the diagnostic imaging department was remodeled with the addition of nuclear medicine and radiological fluoroscopy equipment.

In January 2011, a surgical suite was built to provide interventional services.

In August 2014, Grays Harbor Community Hospital won the county election to transition to Grays Harbor Public Hospital District #2.

September 2015 marked the grand opening of the Blood Draw @ East Campus.

In May 2019, the Cardiology program began at GHCH, along with the Cardiac Catheterization Lab, ushering in a new level of care available to our patients on the Harbor.

In March of 2020, GHCH and HMG along with all clinics began special restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
