By now you have probably heard of Gritman’s commitment to
Lead the Way to Wellness
. Perhaps you have wondered what
that looks like.
To those of us at Gritman Medical Center,
Leading the Way to
Wellness
means o ering services that address the health needs
of our communities—neighbors, family and friends.
Leading the Way to Wellness
means o ering cutting-edge
3-D mammography technology, the rst on the Palouse, to
detect even the most di cult breast cancers sooner and with
better results.
Leading the Way to Wellness
means using advanced robotic
technology to immediately connect stroke patients to highly
trained neurologists, as soon as they show symptoms.
Leading the Way to Wellness
means we are not only a hospital in Moscow, but we
also provide excellent healthcare to the people of our Kendrick, Potlatch and Troy com-
munities through our Family Care Clinics.
Leading the Way to Wellness
means connecting patients with physicians to evaluate
their health risks through our free assessment clinics.
Leading the Way to Wellness
means standing side by side with our patients to pro-
vide comprehensive care as they recover.
Leading the Way to Wellness
means creating a safe and healthy place for patients to
heal.
Leading the Way to Wellness
means recognizing that it is essential to nurture the
mind as well as the body and building a peaceful garden to do just that.
Leading the Way to Wellness
means investing in our community, our physicians and
our sta .
Ultimately,
Leading the Way to Wellness
means, as Dr. Reisenauer put it, that
Gritman Medical Center is steadfastly committed to being that pebble in the pond—
to continue to make a di erence in how healthcare is provided on the Palouse and
beyond.
