Introducing the community to our plans
In mid-August, CMH hosted its fourth Regatta Square Block Party as part of the 129th Astoria Regatta Festival. At the event, there was a live DJ; a free kids' zone featuring inflatables, a rock wall and face painting; a family-friendly barbecue lunch; the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute mobile outreach van; and a health fair with CMH medical experts and community organizations.
In addition, the team for the BuildCMH Expansion Project was on hand to answer questions and introduce the community to CMH's vision for an expanded hospital, breaking ground in late 2024. Team members present included those from CMH, ZGF (design and architecture), Skanska USA (general contractor) and Degenkolb Engineers (structural engineer). They brought a 3D model of the expansion to the event and shared updated renderings with attendees.
"The Regatta Square Block Party was a great place to start presenting to the public what we envision as the future of health care in Clatsop County," says Randy McClelland, BuildCMH Expansion Project director. "We received a lot of positive feedback and are excited to keep sharing more as our plans progress."
