Pullman hospital receives grant

PULLMAN - Pullman Regional Hospital is the recipient of a $300,000 grant from the Sunderland Foundation for its proposed Family Medicine Residency Program.

It's part of a post-medical school partnership with Washington State University's Floyd College of Medicine.

"As a first-time recipient of Sunderland Foundation funding, we're immensely grateful for this new relationship with a highly reputable and prestigious Foundation," said Scott Adams, CEO of Pullman Regional Hospital. "This affirms our vision to train exceptional physicians here in Pullman."

The project will cover 5,000 square-feet of space used now for hospital administration, medical records and fiscal services. The remodeling will create 14 exam rooms, a library, study area, waiting area and offices.

The work is expected to begin in the fall of 2021.

Based in Overland Park, Kansas, the Sunderland Foundation has invested in construction and special interest projects for non-profits since 1945.
