Other Services
Intensive Care Unit
The most advanced monitoring and a specially trained staff permit Harrison to provide special care to those medical and surgical
patients whose needs are intensive and complex. While technologically
sophisticated, our approach remains rooted in the core principles of
patient-centered healthcare. We also recognize the unique and significant
role family and friends play in the process of healing and we promote
their involvement wherever we can.

Ethics
Particularly near the end of life, hospitalization may present a
number of enormously difficult decisions. Harrison believes families
should not feel alone at these times, and invites them to contact the
hospital's ethics committee for support and assistance. Composed of physicians,
nurses, and other Harrison staff, the group serves as a valuable educational
resource. The ethics committee can be reached through the hospital chaplain
at 360-792-6555 or toll-free in Western Washington at 1-800-281-4024,
ext. 6555.

Service Excellence
It's not expected patients will encounter difficulties during their
time at the hospital; in fact, 98 percent consistently rate their stays
as "excellent or very good." But occasionally issues arise,
or individuals become concerned about aspects of their care. While people
are encouraged to speak with their doctors and nurses first, there may
be times when they are more comfortable speaking to a member of our Service Excellence team.
They can be reached at 360-792-6535, or 800-281-4024,
Ext. 6535.

chest pain, congestive heart failure and shortness of breath. Technology

We offer complete pulmonary-function studies and general breathing modalities.
