Grays Harbor Community Hospital

What Grays Harbor Community Hospital does

Grays Harbor Community Hospital, doing business as Harbor Regional Health, is a not-for-profit Public Hospital District (#2, Grays Harbor County, Washington) operating a 140-bed acute care hospital in Aberdeen, Washington, with a Level 3 Trauma Center, Emergency Department, Family Birth Center, Cardiac Catheterization Lab, Critical Care Unit, and full surgical, laboratory, and rehabilitation services. The organization also operates the HRH Medical Group, a multi-specialty physician practice offering internal medicine, pediatrics, family medicine, orthopedics, urology, general surgery, gastroenterology, and OB/GYN, supported by primary care and walk-in clinics in Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Montesano, Westport, and a planned Ocean Shores location. Cardiovascular services are delivered through a partnership with the Pulse Heart Institute, and behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment are provided via HarborCrest. Core enabling technology includes a Meditech Expanse Electronic Medical Records system (implementation began 2025), a Canon Fortain MRI (installed 2024), and Hologic 3D mammography with SmartCurve technology.

The system serves approximately 72,000 residents of Grays Harbor County across roughly 45,000 patient visits annually and is the sole inpatient acute care provider in the area under a Medicare Sole Community Hospital designation. It employs nearly 600 people and is governed by a board of seven elected commissioners. The organization generates revenue primarily through patient services, with 76% of patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid and the hospital collecting only about 26% of amounts billed; this shortfall is partially offset by Public Hospital District tax proceeds and HRH Community Hospital Foundation fundraising, including the annual Diamonds & Denim Gala. Charity care is provided at no cost for patients at or below 100% of the federal poverty level and on a sliding-fee scale up to 300%, with additional 0.00% APR financing offered through a CarePayment partnership to reduce patient financial barriers. Recent strategic focus has been on geographic expansion of primary care access, capital deepening in diagnostic imaging, and academic partnerships (University of Washington, Premera Blue Cross, Grays Harbor College) to address rural workforce shortages through fellowship and residency pipelines.
