For the second consecutive year, Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital has been named one of the “Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals” in the country by iVantage Health Analytics, a health care business intelligence and technology company.
“This recognition is the result of our physicians, nurses and staff who go above and beyond every day,” said Ed Freysinger, chief executive of the Columbia Gorge Service Area
