REGIONAL MEDICAL HUB
Medical care is within quick and easy reach. Spokane serves as the health care hub for nearly 1 million people throughout the region with quality medical centers and specialties.

Cardiac care is particularly strong. The region's hospitals are also known for emergency medicine, women's health care, neurosciences, continence, cancer treatment, orthotics, respiratory care, kidney services and pediatrics.

Collaboration is a key. Inland Northwest Health Services is a leader in progressively defining how technology can link rural communities. Its progressive model connects communities to information and resources. Currently, 31 hospitals securely share patient information electronically. Electronic bedside clinical documentation is being introduced. Solutions to enhance services offered by rural healthcare facilities are also enhanced by such innovative programs as the nationally recognized telepharmacy program.
