Columbia Memorial Hospital (CMH) is pleased to announce that it will host the Regatta Square Block Party again this year during the 2023 Astoria Regatta festival.
The block party will be held at the public parking lot on 12th Street, between Duane and Exchange Streets, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 12. People can enjoy the event before and after the Grand Land Parade finishes in downtown Astoria.
Regatta Square keeps the fun going under the sun and will include a live DJ, free kids’ zone with inflatables, a Medix Ambulance to check out and face painting, a BBQ family-friendly lunch for sale, and a health fair featuring your local CMH medical experts and community organizations. The Knight Cancer Mobile Van from OHSU will also be at the event providing information and resources for attendees.
In addition, the project team for the BuildCMH Expansion Project will be 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 will include those from CMH, ZGF (design and architecture), Skanska USA (general contractor), and Degenkolb (structural engineering). They will have a 3D model of the expansion hospital and updated renderings to share.
“CMH is proud to be part of the Regatta festivities each year,” says Erik Thorsen, CMH CEO. “We’ll see you at Regatta Square on the 12th!”
