Summit Pacific Medical Center

What Summit Pacific Medical Center does

Summit Pacific Medical Center is a public hospital district — Grays Harbor County Public Hospital District No. 1 — operating a Critical Access Hospital in Elma, Washington, with three rural healthcare clinics and a seven-day-a-week urgent care facility. The organization provides a full continuum of rural healthcare services including 24/7 emergency care with Level IV trauma, Level II Cardiac, and Level III Stroke designations, primary care, behavioral health integrated into primary care, an opioid Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) walk-in clinic, diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI, 3D mammography, nuclear medicine), laboratory services, cardiology, gastroenterology, interventional pain, podiatry, sleep medicine, pediatrics, women's health and reproductive services, outpatient infusion, and a Swing Bed Restorative Care program. Its clinical infrastructure is DNV-accredited and includes an advanced CT scanner installed in 2022 and membership in the Southwest Washington Telestroke Network connecting stroke patients to Providence St. Peter Hospital neurologists via video.

The business operates under a fee-for-service healthcare revenue model funded by insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid, supplemented by public hospital district tax revenues and USDA Rural Development loan financing for capital projects. Patient access runs through direct-to-consumer channels: walk-in urgent care, scheduled primary and specialty appointments, 24/7 emergency services, and virtual visits, with the Epic-powered MyChart portal enabling records access, scheduling, bill pay, and prescription refills. The 60,000 square-foot Summit Pacific Wellness Center extends the operating model beyond acute care into population health, housing physical/occupational/speech therapy, a pharmacy, Café @ Summit, an indoor climbing wall, and the Food Rx 'food as medicine' program. Leadership includes CEO Josh Martin (joined 2016), CFO Cheryl Cornwell (joined April 2025), COO/CNO Tori Bernier, Chief Talent and Legal Officer Jennifer Burkhardt JD, and CMO Ken Dietrich MD. Summit Pacific also runs an ACGME-accredited rural family medicine residency in partnership with Providence St. Peter Hospital, addressing rural physician pipeline gaps. The organization completed Phase 1 of a $55 million expansion in September 2025 and received American Hospital Association recognition and national media coverage in 2025.
