Building the Future of Patient Care

2022-23 Construction Project Expands Access to Services

Gritman Medical Center is expanding to further meet the health care needs of our community, developing clinic spaces that make it easier for patients to access like services at the same location.

The expansion of services at our downtown medical office building is the next phase in our ongoing commitment to exceptional patient care. It is funded entirely by Gritman and our generous philanthropic partners so we can further meet the needs of the community – now and in the future.

Expanding Services

We’re committed to providing access to compassionate reliable health care. Expanding the specialty services at our downtown medical office building follows through on that commitment. Building the future of patient care ensures more patients stay right here in the community for both healing and recovery.

Project at a glance:

Buildout of about 15,000 square feet of space across the building’s three floors.
Expanded home of Palouse Neurology (First floor).
Doubling of infusion and clinical space for Palouse Oncology and Gritman Infusion Services (Second floor).
A state-of-the art Interventional Pain Clinic space that will serve as a “one-stop” for all pain clinic patients (Third floor).
Buildout of clinic space with future provider expansion in mind (first and third floors).
Co-location of like services, close to parking, with easier access for patients.

Portions of the C.L. Gritman Medical Office Building at 803 S. Main St. were intentionally left unfinished when it opened in 2017. Completing buildout now creates opportunities for additional clinic space growth in the future.

Support the Future of Patient Care

As we reflect on 125 years as the region’s health care leader, we continue to have an eye toward the future – ensuring our patients always have access to the advanced technology and compassionate expertise that comes with providing exceptional care.

The buildout of our downtown medical office building is the next phase of that commitment to ensuring the health of people in our communities, a mission that wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our philanthropic partners throughout the region.
