Olympic Medical Center is facing a financial and operational crisis—but a data-driven turnaround is underway, and the choices we make now will shape access to care and jobs across Clallam County.
Exceptional article. Thank you for the straightforward analysis. We are blessed to have Danny and Steven as leaders of our community that give of their time freely.
“Even those who disagree about tactics largely agree on one thing: OMC matters, and its survival depends on working together. ‘We may disagree on how to fix it,” one commenter said, “but we all want a hospital that stays open, pays its bills, and treats people with dignity.’ That spirit—rooted in realism and respect—is exactly what gives this moment potential. When a community can discuss hard truths without turning on itself, it’s already started the work of recovery.”
With community support behind and within OMC and the turnaround underway, OMC is in the strongest position it’s had in years. Working together, we can’t fail.
Excellent article that is data-based and realistic. Culture change is so challenging, so I hope that can happen.
I have been following the OMC crisis for a while and this is cautiously optimistic. I had mixed feelings when the hired an interim CEO but I think it was the rightm, but hard, call.
Good analysis! Yep, OMC is a hot mess! The buck stops with the Board and it really seems they have been incompetent. I wish I had read this article before I turned in my ballot.
