Columbia Basin Hospital

What Columbia Basin Hospital does

Columbia Basin Hospital is a 25-bed critical access hospital operated by Public Hospital District No. 3 of Grant County, Washington, serving the Ephrata community since 1950. The facility delivers a comprehensive portfolio of acute, emergency, primary, and post-acute services including a 24-hour emergency department with Level 5 trauma designation and helipad for air transport, family medicine for all ages, advanced imaging (3D mammography, CT scanning, weekly mobile MRI, X-ray, ultrasound), on-site laboratory, inpatient and outpatient physical/occupational/speech therapy, advanced wound care with regenerative graft applications, infusion services, and swing-bed acute care. Adjacent services include the 32-bed Garden Oasis assisted living facility and a 12-bed long-term care facility, creating an integrated community health campus under single governance.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service billing across commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and patient self-pay, supplemented by an income-based financial assistance program with a sliding fee schedule. The hospital also benefits from Public Hospital District tax authority and a 501(c)(3) Foundation (established 1980-1981) that funds equipment and programs through the Tree of Caring donation campaign. Distribution is entirely direct: on-campus care delivery via scheduled appointments, walk-in emergency services, and physician referrals for specialized services such as wound care and rehabilitation. The organization is governed by an elected five-member Board of Commissioners led by Commission President Amy Paynter, with operational leadership including CNO Ben Schultz and Director of Program Innovation and Education Sara Egbert.

Technology infrastructure centers on the Epic MyChart patient portal (integrated via Providence health network's Azure B2C authentication) for electronic medical records, appointment management, bill pay, and prescription refills, with TeleRadiology enabling remote diagnostic readings. As the 4th largest employer in Ephrata with 101-250 staff, the hospital is deeply embedded in the local economy and relies on community-oriented marketing across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, blog content, and in-person events such as SAIL fitness classes and Vitalant blood drives. No venture capital, private equity, or external ownership interests are involved; ownership rests entirely with the public hospital district.
