When moving to a new city or place, you’re probably researching the school districts, the different neighborhoods, the local amenities, and whether or not the local healthcare is average or excellent.    Pullman might be considered rural to big city slickers, but when it comes to our hospitals and local healthcare services...well, it’s world-class. Pullman Regional Hospital, in particular, is making a name for itself in the healthcare industry --and we’re here for it!   In today’s episode, I am talking to Matt Forge, whose education and career path have taken him all over the US before landing him in Pullman as CEO of Pullman Regional Hospital.    As a leader in the Pullman community, Matt is on a mission to use his position, talents, and influence to impact our community’s well-being. And he’s been doing a fantastic job so far!   In our conversation, Matt and I talked about what’s unique about Pullman Regional Hospital, the world-class services it offers, how the hospital program is expanding, why we need more transparency in the costs of healthcare, what the rapid growth means for the future of the hospital, and so much more!   Matt’s working hard to develop world-class healthcare services for our community, and he’s on the CougsFirst!
