1. Your Hospital Experience

Each patient will be placed in a fully private patient room, and we understand that family and friends are an important part of your healing and care. Visitors are welcome at any time; however, certain restrictions may be made depending on your need for quiet and rest. Our patient rooms are private and spacious, ensuring a comfortable stay for both you and your guests. With free wireless internet, cable TV, and room service from the Red Sage Café, you might never want to leave!

The Red Sage Café has been referred to as “Pullman’s hidden gem,” and is quickly becoming a favorite destination for dining in the area. All patients enjoy free room service between 7 am – 7 pm, visitors have the option to purchase room service meals, and the Café is open to the entire community. The Red Sage Café has a little something for everyone, offering a full menu of choices from breakfast through dinner.

2. Low Infection Rates

We are committed to reducing and eliminating infections acquired during hospitalization. Our infection rates have been consistently below half of the national average, and our trend line continues towards the elimination of hospital acquired infections. Good hand hygiene has proven to be the number one best defense against hospital acquired infections, and we continue to exceed the goals for good hand hygiene as reported to the Washington State Hospital Association. When you’re here, you can trust that you’re in good, clean hands.

3. Staffing Ratio

You deserve quality, one-on-one time with your doctors and nurses. We are committed to providing sufficient staffing levels to allow our staff to spend time with you and give you the prompt service and individualized attention you deserve, so you never feel rushed.

“I’ve had two knee replacement surgeries with Dr. Pennington. The care I received both times was excellent! The number of staff who took care of me while I was in the hospital recovering was reassuring. Everything from the total joint replacement preparation class to my physical therapy at Summit Therapy contributed to my successful outcomes. I can now walk and get back to doing things I love without pain.” – Jeff Kimberling, knee replacement patient
