Building the Future of Patient Care
Central Sterile Unit Upgrade Complete
An upgrade to Gritman Medical Center’s Sterile Processing Department is now operational following an 18-month project to enhance services and upgrade surgical capacity.
The project began in September 2024 with construction of a new electrical room on the northeast side of Gritman’s main hospital campus in Moscow.
Completion of the electrical room allowed the hospital to power upgrades to Sterile Processing, including relocation of the Sterile Processing Department to the second floor of the hospital’s 1960s wing and purchase of more advanced equipment that helps the hospital increase surgical capacity.
Gritman’s Sterile Processing team ensures that every piece of equipment — from a simple exam tool to the instruments used in a total hip replacement — is completely decontaminated, sanitized and sterilized. The new space went live on Monday, Feb. 9.

Promoting Patient Access
Gritman launched a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) system June 24 throughout the Gritman Medical Center System. The new system, through OCHIN Epic, consolidates and replaces legacy EHR programs throughout Gritman Medical Center and our network of clinics. This project is a key component in our drive to continually provide extraordinary care for the people in our communities. Learn more about this exciting change.
Troy Clinic Renovation Complete
Construction has been completed on Gritman’s Troy Family Medicine clinic, which had been temporarily closed since March 2023 because of water damage to the century-old building.
The Troy Clinic is once again seeing patients.
Gritman Therapy Eyes Downtown Moscow Expansion
Gritman has also taken the first step to expand its Gritman Therapy Solutions program by purchasing a larger space in downtown Moscow that will allow the hospital system to meet a growing demand for services.
The former Daily News/EMSI space at 409 S. Jackson St. – now known as the Thrivent building – is recently renovated and contains a mix of private offices and large rooms perfect for therapy services. A deal for Gritman to purchase the property, including the building and about 40 parking spaces for patients, closed Sept. 29.
The 16,600-square-foot Jackson Street building in downtown Moscow provides Gritman Therapy Solutions team members with a larger footprint, allowing various therapy services to be co-mingled while remaining close to the existing hospital campus.
C.L. Gritman Medical Office Building - Buildout Complete
We’re committed to providing access to compassionate reliable health care. Expanding the specialty services at the C.L. Gritman 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. The C.L. Gritman Medical Office Building project was completed in fall 2023.
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 serves 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 created 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.
