Health Care
Gig
Harborites place great value on wellness, health and
exercise. They often choose Gig Harbor for its fresh
air, for its access to the mountains and the forests
for hiking and skiing, for its ease to the waterways
for kayaking, windsurfing and water skiing.
The
area supports a wide range of physicians and other
healthcare specialists. A large number of the
county’s physicians and dentists make Gig Harbor their
home and many offer Gig Harbor branch offices.
Numerous pharmacies are located throughout the area.
Gig Harbor has an urgent care facility, two
day-surgery clinics, as well as access to several
regional hospitals both in Tacoma and Bremerton.
Assisted living, skilled nursing facilities and
in-home nursing care are all provided in Gig Harbor.
Two facilities operate for the care of Alzheimer’s
patients. Numerous private homes offer assisted
living.
Emergency medical is provided through 9-1-1-phone
service. Both Fire Districts #5 and #16 are staffed
with full-time employees, as well as volunteers for 24
hour medical service.
