Southern Humboldt hospital bond Measure K trails its two-thirds requirement
Issue
On November 4, 2026, the Times-Standard reported that Measure K, a $25 million bond for a new Garberville hospital, was on pace to fail. Election Night reports showed just under 62% yes, and it needs two-thirds.
The hospital district’s chief executive called it a Plan B after H.R. 1 cuts. No health center is named.
