Regional partnership between three area hospitals brings Oncology & Neurology services
Dr. Srijana Rai
Dr. Sarita Said-Said
Full-time oncology and neurology services will open on the Palouse in August thanks to a regional partnership between Pullman Regional Hospital, Gritman Medical Center in Moscow and Whitman Hospital and Medical Center in Colfax. These specialty clinics will be operated by Palouse Specialty Physicians and through a partnership with Cancer Care Northwest for oncology services. The new clinics will be located in Moscow but will serve patients from throughout the region. The oncology clinic will be staffed by Dr. Srijana Rai, oncologist, and a nurse practitioner. The neurology clinic will be staffed by Dr. Sarita Said-Said. Palouse Specialty Physicians and the three partnering hospitals are dedicated to bringing specialty care to the region to help patients stay close to home for care. Palouse Specialty currently operates two specialty clinics: Palouse Urology in Pullman and Moscow, and Palouse ENT and Audiology in Pullman
The Next Era of Excellence in Healthcare
Pullman Regional Hospital is committed to providing excellence to our patients. We have been building on excellence for the last 25 years and are striving to move to The Next Era of Excellence to ensure convenience, access, and quality care to patients and the community. Growth and lack of space to house physicians is driving the need for an addition to the hospital. Furthermore, to achieve coordinated patient care, a community wide electronic medical record is needed. This along with ever changing dynamics in healthcare keep the need for community support of Pullman Regional Hospital real today and tomorrow. We can achieve the Next Era of Excellence for generations to come with the help of the community we serve. Learn more at pullmanregional.org/next-era-of-excellence. Become an insider. Inside Excellence is all about our hospital services.

Does your child struggle with reading and/or writing? The Summit Dyslexia Clinic at Pullman Regional Hospital can help. Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability that affects roughly 15-20 percent of our total population. While the symptoms and severity differ from person to person, most individuals with Dyslexia have difficulties reading, spelling, writing, pronouncing words, and mastering other language skills. With the appropriate intervention and learning methods, students can succeed.
How is Dyslexia Treated? The Summit Dyslexia Clinic uses a structured and progressive research-based treatment program. Our certified Speech Language Pathologist and Occupational Therapist use a comprehensive sensory approach to integrate auditory, visual, and motor systems to create a whole body learning experience.
