Jefferson Healthcare seeks public input

PORT TOWNSEND — As Jefferson Healthcare creates its 2022-2025 strategic plan, the hospital is seeing public input in an online community forum from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday.

“It is critical to learn the healthcare priorities of the community,” said Amy Yaley, Jefferson Healthcare spokesperson.

This forum, which was also held Tuesday afternoon, gives local residents a chance to hear the hospital’s draft strategic plan and provide their concerns and comments.

Anyone may register to attend Thursday’s forum, to be held on the video-conferencing platform Microsoft Teams. To sign up, use the “community forum” link at the top of the hospital’s website, jeffersonhealthcare.org.

The first 30 to 45 minutes will be a presentation of the draft strategic plan, and the rest of the time will be devoted to comments and feedback.

Anyone unable to attend is encouraged to submit feedback, which can be submitted via a letter addressed to the hospital commissioners at 834 Sheridan St., Port Townsend, WA 98368, by email to commissioners@ jeffersonhealthcare.org, or through the link on jeffersonhealthcare.org.
