Columbia County Health System, also known as Dayton General Hospital, operates as a rural hospital network located in Dayton, Washington. Established in 1960, it serves as a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital with Level V Trauma Center designation and Level III Cardiac and Stroke capabilities, along with being a regional center for wound care and hyperbaric therapy. The organization comprises facilities including Columbia Family Clinic, Waitsburg Clinic, Booker Rest Home, and Dayton General Hospital, offering primary care and behavioral health services across multiple rural health clinics six days a week, and providing inpatient sub-acute and Swing Bed care for extended rehabilitation and skilled nursing needs. Its medical staff includes primary care physicians, an emergency medicine physician, a pediatrician, family practice providers, and a dermatology-focused ARNP, with emergency services staffed by employed providers and affiliated physicians. In addition to acute care, the system emphasizes extended care options, enabling patients to transition from acute hospitalization to continued hospital-level nursing and rehabilitation within the same facility.
