This is a view of the hospital at Olympic Medical Center that you can only get from the water.
Located in Port Angeles, this is Sequim’s nearest hospital, a 67-bed acute care facility and level 3 emergency department. They can handle a lot of our basic needs but serious trauma and more specialized surgery and care means a trip to Seattle.
This photo was taken from the Black Ball Ferry on the way to Victoria. I don’t know what the crane was doing but it’s not a permanent fixture.
You are lucky to have such a facility so close!
Gosh it looks big Kay, I would have thought more than a 67 bedder ✨
It’s good that it can handle most health issues and is close by. We have a small community hospital about a 5 minute walk from where I live. I go there for my blood tests when I need one.
A good looking structure.
Great view – good to know you have a hospital nearby, just in case. Did you have the thunder storms last night like we did – it was some of the most amazing stormy weather we’ve ever seen, and we’ve lived in Kansas during tornado season.
This seems similar to the hospital arrangements here. Our local hospitals can handle regular needs and emergencies but helicopter or aircraft transfer to the city are required for more complex needs.
