Pullman Regional Hospital

Revolutionizing Health Care

Pullman Regional Hospital is one of the newest hospitals in the Pacific Northwest and the third to be built in Washington State in 25 years.

Pullman Regional Hospital is a full-service medical center that offers a range of advanced medical services to the Palouse region. The 95,000 square-foot facility features a state-of-the-art surgery center, fully digital imaging department, increased patient bed spaces including private birthing suites, a helipad, and wireless patient information. Pullman Regional Hospital is a Level IV State Designated Trauma Center and home to the only 24 hour Urgent Care Center on the Palouse.

Formerly Pullman Memorial Hospital, Pullman Regional Hospital is situated among the Palouse hills overlooking the Washington State University campus.

An Investment In Caring

In November 2001, construction of the new facility was set into motion when local residents passed an $8.2 million construction bond. With additional efforts, the Pullman Hospital Foundation secured grants and private funding. The $28.5 million facility is serving the campus of Washington State University as well as Whitman and Latah counties, providing the greater community broader access to health care.

Pullman Regional Hospital officially opened its doors to patients on December 16, 2004.

Built to Care — Design Innovation and Healing

The hospital atmosphere can be a large secondary source of stress for patients, their families and healthcare staff. The overall design of any hospital may have a direct effect on patient health and quality of care. For example, poor lighting can be easily linked to patient depression and staff errors, while crowded patient rooms with poor air quality can lead to the likelihood of increased infections. In addition to treatment, hospitals should be more focused on the general promotion of healing.

Pullman Regional Hospital 's innovative construction and design safeguards patients, families and staff while creating a comfortable, healthy environment. With feedback from various groups, including health care experts and members of the local community, Pullman Regional Hospital prioritized a number of design features to foster this kind of space. Pullman Regional Hospital also features:

• Private patient rooms with large windows and views of the Palouse
• De-centralized nursing stations, closer to patient rooms
• Natural light and expanded lighting options
• Decreased noise levels with sound-absorbing ceiling panels and tiles
• Centralized ventilation system and air filters
• Easy to navigate hallways with benches to rest along the way
• More public seating areas to accommodate families and patients
