Annual Report 2022 A year in review
2022 Annual Report
Reflecting on 2022
2022 marked the first year since the COVID-19 pandemic where the community was able to come together in-person once again for several events that had been put on hiatus. Though COVID-19 was still a large focus for our hospital, throughout the year, we were able to further strengthen bonds in the community and move forward.
I have so much gratitude for our caregivers, providers and leaders. We have not only expanded access by opening new clinics and services, but we have improved the quality of the health care we are providing.
Reflecting on 2022
Creating childcare
Childcare has been a critical issue for Clatsop County families in recent years. Since 2020, the county has lost more than 1,000 childcare spaces.
In response, CMH has worked with regional partners, such as Providence Seaside Hospital and County leaders, to find sustainable solutions for families.

CMH donations benefit community
Emergency response time is a critical part of how CMH cares for its patients. The sooner a patient can be attended to by an emergency medical professional, the better.
This is why CMH was pleased to donate life-saving devices to three local groups in 2022: Knappa Fire District, Lower Columbia Youth Soccer Association (LCYSA) and Northwest Senior and Disability Services (NWSDS).
