HHS Brings Back 24/7 Healthcare Kiosks

Health and Human Services Posted on February 25, 2026

In 2025 WCHHS was able to secure one of 20 DOH healthcare kiosks in Washington State. Shortly after, the program was sunset due to budget cuts, and WCHHS had to give the machine back. Using allocated funds, WCHHS was able to purchase two customized vending machines that were fitting to house many of the same harm reduction products that were available in the DOH machine.

One machine resumed its original spot on the porch under the library in Cathlamet, and another was placed in Rosburg, by the food pantry entrance of Johnson Park. The community has expressed their excitement over this return, as the one machine saw an average of 120 products dispensed each month.
