Olympic Medical Center seeks commission applicants

PORT ANGELES — Applications are due on Monday from those who seek to fill a vacated seat on the Olympic Medical Center commission.

The position is vacant due to the death of Commissioner John Miles, MD, on Feb. 25. The most qualified applicant will be appointed to serve until the next general election for the seat in November 2023.

Qualified applicants must live in Hospital District No. 3, which is roughly west of Lincoln Street in Port Angeles past the west side of Lake Crescent.

Voter precincts for Hospital District No. 3 include Port Angeles 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113; Black Diamond 208; Dry Creek 224; Elwha 230; Freshwater Bay 233; Joyce 241; Madison Creek 248; and Mount Angeles 250.

To confirm this geographical requirement, visit votewa.gov or contact the Clallam County Elections Office.

Minimum time requirements are two monthly board meetings, the first Wednesday of the month at 12:30 p.m., and the third Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m. and any additional committee work as assigned.

Commissioners are responsible for governing Olympic Medical Center and its inpatient and outpatient services, as well as major divisions, including Olympic Medical Physicians and Olympic Medical Home Health.

Applications are available by emailing Gay Lynn Iseri, executive assistant to the chief executive officer and board, at giseri@ olympicmedical.org or by calling 360-417-7705.

Completed applications need to be received in the Administration Office by 4:30 p.m. Monday to be eligible for consideration.

The board will conduct interviews of qualified applicants the second week in May so an appointment can be made.
