Life and Health

At Grande Ronde Hospital (GRH), the construction of our new surgical tower is nearly complete. This expansion isn't just about increasing our facility's size—nearly doubling the existing hospital's square footage—but about people. It embodies our commitment to serve, heal, and provide hope. This project is a testament to the dedication, passion, and vision of our entire team and the community we are privileged to serve.

In rural regions like Union County, access to healthcare services can be a challenge. The completion of the surgical tower represents a significant step in the right direction. With surgical suites that are 150% larger and two new procedure rooms, we will be able to perform surgeries and procedures with greater efficiency. This expansion reduces the need for our loved ones to travel long distances for care, keeping our friends and families close to home during critical times. This proximity not only eases the burden on patients but also provides a vital support system during recovery.

We couldn't do it without our community

The contributions of our nurses, providers, and support staff have been integral to this growth and progress. Their input, from the earliest stages of planning to each step of construction, has shaped a design that promotes greater efficiency in patient care and strengthens staff morale. The new design will significantly improve patient movement and the transportation of equipment, enhancing the overall patient experience. The anticipation and enthusiasm of our staff infuse each new space with a sense of purpose, highlighting our collective commitment to improving healthcare for our community.

The journey to this point has been marked by the dedication of countless individuals who have worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life. From the architects and construction crews to the hospital staff and medical providers, each person has played a vital role in this transformation. Their stories of perseverance, innovation, and commitment to excellence are the heartbeat of this project. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed their time, effort, and expertise to make this vision a reality.

Celebrate with us!

As the final pieces are set in place, we invite you to join us for a community open house to celebrate this milestone on Friday, Sept. 27, from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., with an official ribbon cutting at 6 p.m. This event symbolizes our unwavering dedication to providing the best possible care for you. It is a promise that we will continue to evolve and grow, always prioritizing the needs of our patients.

Together, we are building more than just a structure; we are building a legacy of care, compassion, and community. We are building the future of healthcare in Union County.
