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.

Section 8 Payments Offer Landlords Consistent Income In 2023, the Section 8 program administered by Community Action Center contributed $1.9 million to the economy in the form of housing assistance payments to landlords. According to Section 8 Coordinator Liz Corsetti, around 95% of this money was paid on behalf of Whitman County renters. Section 8 offers stable, affordable housing for people with low incomes. Participants pay 30%-40% of their income for rent and utilities. The program pays the balance of rent directly to the property manager. “Our payments never stop,” Corsetti said. “During COVID and the aftermath of COVID, and people trying to reestablish employment, Section 8 helped landlords because part of tenant’s rents were always covered when tenants couldn’t pay. Landlords were getting money they wouldn’t have if they didn’t have tenants on Section 8.” Local landlords appreciate the program. “I really want to thank Section 8. It helps even out the bumpy roads for our tenants that receive it. It allows us to rent to people that have a hard time finding a place and/or don't have the money for initial move in. It is a great safety net for our seniors in our community,” said Ryan Barker, landlord of Garfield Apartments.

GLADISH COMMUNITY AND CULTURAL CENTER
Pullman Community Update 11
The Gladish Community and Cultural Center February Events Williams is a poignant play that explores the lives of the Wingfield family in 1930s St. Louis. The story revolves around the fragile and introverted Laura Wingfield, her overbearing mother Amanda, and her brother Tom, who longs for escape. As Tom reminisces about their past and the impact of his abandonment, the play delves into themes of family, dreams, and the harsh realities of life.
We are thrilled to be hosting the Terry Buffington Foundation for their 2nd annual Foundation dinner & fundraiser. The evening’s highlight will be a formal presentation by Cultural Anthropologist Prof. Terry Buffington on civil rights digital collection, the Terry Buffington Papers 1952-2015, as part of her continuing Anthropological work. The presentation will demonstrate how the collection can be used as a primary source which is essential for student and scholarly engagement in terms of teaching and learning. Be sure to secure your tickets soon as they are selling quickly!
Lastly, we have the Gladish Annual Brewfest on March 2, 2024 at 2pm! We are so excited to be having this again and cannot wait to see you there!

Pullman’s Past Comes Alive
THANK YOU TO OUR SUPPORTERS –
TRAVEL WITH US
Sincere appreciation to all who made financial contributions to the Depot in 2023. Thanks to your continuing support, Depot restoration is Full Steam Ahead.
We are profoundly thankful to the community and awed by what has occurred at the Depot in just over five years.
Our friends at Design West Architects use the term ‘building envelope’ to describe the shell of the building – everything that protects the inside of the building from the outside environment. The first phase of Depot restoration is addressing all elements of the Depot’s envelope including foundation, walls, roof, windows, and doors. Having tackled the first several items on this list including a new tile roof last summer, work in spring 2024 will turn to soffits and gutters. Next, we will move on to window restoration, and electrical upgrades. These projects are made possible by the Washington State Historical Society’s Heritage Capital Project grant funds, extended through legislative appropriations and a required two-thirds local match from our community.
We encourage you to join our generous supporters as our Full Steam Ahead restoration efforts continue. With your help, PDHC is making significant progress toward the community’s goal of developing a Heritage Center that celebrates the history of our area, where locals and visitors of all ages can gather in a character-rich historic setting. Come along with us as we work to vitalize one of the gems in Pullman’s historic downtown core. Your tax-deductible contributions will help to make a lasting change. Your Pullman Depot Heritage Center Steering Committee
