PORT ANGELES — Olympic Medical Center officials are asking business leaders to join a steering committee to help transform health care in Clallam County.
Center Administrator Mike Glenn and Bertha Cooper, assistant administrator, were guest speakers at the Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce’s weekly luncheon Monday at the Port Angeles CrabHouse Restaurant.
They said the planning process for the project, titled “Transforming Health Care in Clallam County,” will be led by a committee consisting of business leaders, doctors and other health-care providers, patients and the general community, said Mike Glenn, CEO of the medical center.
Glenn said the project will help retain positive aspects of the current health-care system and pave the way for a better experience for future patients.
Planning stages for the project will be funded with a $50,000 grant from the Washington Health Foundation, a Seattle-based nonprofit organization founded in 1992 to seek ways to meet health care challenges across the state.
