BUSINESS MEMBER OF THE MONTH
Pullman Regional Hospital 835 SE Bishop Blvd Pullman, WA 99163 www.pullmanregional.org Pullman Regional Patient Care Expansion Less wait, less travel, more access to premier healthcare In 2004, a new, state-of-the-art 25-bed hospital was constructed on Bishop Boulevard. Over the past 20 years, our community has grown, technology has advanced and trends in healthcare have evolved. Additionally, Pullman Regional Hospital has expanded our healthcare services to include clinics such as primary care, general surgery, cardiology and urology. We are the third largest employer in our community with more than 640 employees. As our community grows, so does the need for healthcare. Since 2004, our work has grown from 7,000 emergency visits to 14,500. Our surgical cases have grown by 35%, and we’ve added a dozen clinics. It’s time to grow so your patient experience is simplified, convenient and premier. We need to evolve care delivery, expand access to meet demand and build upon our comprehensive healthcare campus. In 2022, our community approved a $27.5 million bond to expand patient care in partnership with Pullman Regional Hospital: ● $45-50 million, 5+ year phased project ● Includes remodel and expansion of the hospital and new medical office building on campus ● Funded through $27.5M bond, hospital operations and financing and philanthropy We want our community to stay informed and engaged as we reach major milestones. ● Stay in the know through www.pullmanregional.org/expansion ● Attend the March Pullman Chamber General Membership Presentation in March for a project update from Pullman Regional Hospital CEO, Matt Forge and Foundation Executive Director, Linda Infranco.
