About Us
When PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center in Clark County, Wash., opened in 1859, it was the oldest hospital in the Pacific Northwest and one of the oldest continuously operating hospitals in the US, per its website.
But as the area's population continues to grow, so, too, does the need for medical care.
In fact, 40% of visitors to the emergency department there are people seeking non-medical care, including food insecurity, stable housing, domestic abuse, and other barriers to health, per the hospital's "Healthcare Reimagined" campaign.
Now, in an effort to address those and other issues, the hospital is embarking on what it calls its "largest campaign to date"$125 million in total, which will go toward expanding emergency services, a 24-bed observation unit, private rooms for patients and their families, and more.
"We know healing environments extend outside our walls, so we will create dozens of pocket gardens to a new interior garden to provide peace and calm during stressful times," per a press release.
The campaign also includes a new wayfinding system that will make it easier for patients and caregivers to find their way to the emergency department, as well as a new parking lot that will offer more space for ambulances and individual visitors.
