A new medical residency program developed in partnership with Pullman Regional Hospital and the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine continues to gain support in the form of a second major grant.
The M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust has awarded a $450,000 grant to Pullman Regional Hospital to renovate approximately 5,000 square feet of space. That space, which will include 14 exam rooms as well as a study area, library and faculty offices, will be used for the new Family Medicine Residency Program.
Renovations are expected to begin this fall, with the first group of physician residents expected to arrive in June 2022. Residents of the three year program will treat patients under the oversight of Dr. Stephen Hall, developing program director.

Pullman officer Heidi Lambley said when a case is cleared by arrest, charges are forwarded to the county prosecutor’s office or police arrest an individual. When a case is cleared by exception, the reasoning is broader. For example, a suspect could have died or the victim did not want to continue the investigation.
