Summit Pacific

The new Elma hospital has a name, and it is Summit Pacific Medical Center

Mark Reed Hospital will close on a Sunday in February 2013 and Summit Pacific Medical Center will open in Elma that same day. The current Mark Reed Campus in McCleary consists of both Mark Reed Healthcare Clinic and Mark Reed Hospital. When Mark Reed Hospital closes in February 2013, Mark Reed Healthcare Clinic will remain open and operating out of its current offices.

(Personally I wish the hospital could have remained in McCleary. Also wish the name Mark Reed could have been somehow kept or included because I appreciate the history. But at the same time I do understand the need for change and expansion, I wish the new hospital well.)
