NORTH GARRISON HEIGHTS – PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center Foundation has been awarded a $1 million grant by the Cowlitz Indian Tribe through the Cowlitz Tribal Foundation Clark County Fund in support of its Emergency Department expansion project.
When completed in summer 2024, PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center’s Emergency Department expansion will double the size of the facility to better meet the needs of the region’s rapidly growing community.
“We are extremely grateful to the Cowlitz Indian Tribe for their leadership gift that will significantly help forge change across Clark County by expanding our capacity to treat the most medically ill and address whole-person care at the same time in new, resourceful, and sustainable ways,” said Karen Santangelo, chief development officer of the PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center Foundation.
The PeaceHealth Southwest Emergency Department serves more than 75,000 patients a year and is a regional Level II Trauma Center.
