Briefs for Saturday

After more than 30 years as CEO of Pullman Regional Hospital, Scott Adams announced plans to retire in December 2022.

“Through the support of the community and hospital family, we’ve achieved more for a rural critical access hospital than what was thought possible,” Adams said in a statement.

“Beyond excellence in healthcare, we have created a culture and collaborative environment that will enable our leaders to continue to be innovative and provide the best healthcare for our region.”

Adams oversaw the hospital’s relocation from Washington State University’s campus to a new location that opened on Bishop Boulevard in 2004 and established the hospital’s family medicine residency program.
