PULLMAN, WA — For the 14th year, local auto dealerships are teaming up to support Pullman Regional Hospital through Auto Dealers for Health. This year, the annual fundraiser moves to September, with Jess Ford, Wysup Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram and Chipman & Taylor Chevrolet joining forces to support the hospital’s Patient Care Expansion Project.
Throughout September, $100 will be donated to the Pullman Regional Hospital Foundation for every new or used vehicle ordered or purchased from one of the participating dealerships.
“Auto Dealers for Health has become a meaningful community tradition, and we’re so grateful for the longtime support,” said Linda Infranco, Executive Director of the Pullman Regional Hospital Foundation. “Every dealership, every customer and every vehicle sold this September brings us closer to less wait, less travel and more access — more ways Pullman Regional says ‘yes’ to patients.”
Since its launch in 2013, Auto Dealers for Health has raised more than $317,000 for Pullman Regional Hospital. Past contributions have supported important healthcare investments, including 3D mammography equipment, an additional operating room, emergency department expansion and robotic surgical technology.
Supporting More Access to Care
This year’s fundraiser will support the hospital's highest need of expanding access to premier healthcare.
The Patient Care Expansion Project will increase surgical capacity through the addition of a fifth operating room and expanded surgical support areas, including recovery, endoscopy and central sterile. It also includes centralized registration to create a more convenient patient experience, centralized Same Day services, additional CT imaging capacity and an expanded emergency department that will nearly double its current capacity.
The project also includes a newly remodeled laboratory and expanded outpatient lab services. The Patient Care Expansion Project is currently 33% complete and is scheduled for completion at the end of 2027.
