The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

Columbia County Health System and Columbia Rural Electric Association are pleased to announce that the final piece of funding has been secured for the remodel and expansion of the Dayton Hospital Emergency Room. The Dayton hospital is an important part of the Dayton and Columbia County community, providing 24 hour a day emergency care, according to a release from the power company. The Dayton emergency room is a Level-V Trauma facility and the staff is trained to treat emergencies on site as well as stabilizing and transferring patients needing a higher level of care. The health system said working together with Columbia REA, both have continued the tradition of providing exceptional health care options for the Greater Columbia County region.
