Pullman Regional earns ‘most wired’

Pullman Regional Hospital was once again named one of the nation’s leading hospitals in technological advancement in the 15th annual “Most Wired” survey administered by the Hospitals & Health Networks. This makes the seventh year in a row that Pullman Regional Hospital has been recognized for its commitment and dedication to continuously updating systems to improve communication and patient safety.
