Throwback to 1983, when our ED helipad was used for the very first time, and to 1984, when the helipad was dedicated to Dr. Wayne L. Piper.

The first photo shows patient Flora Gilchrist being transported by a Lifebird helicopter to Spokane for emergency treatment. The second photo shows the helipad dedication ceremony, where Faye Piper, widow of Dr. Piper led the dedication to her late husband.

During the ceremony, patient Flora shared her story, crediting the helipad’s first use for her life-saving flight to Spokane the previous year. Also in attendance were Dr. Piper’s daughters, members of the Lioness club, who spearheaded community fundraising efforts for the helipad, along with hospital staff, city officials, and many community members.

As we celebrate 75 years, we honor the dedicated professionals who have shaped our hospital’s history and look forward to continuing our mission of caring for our community.

Throwback to 1957, when Columbia Basin Hospital installed the sign reading “Public Hospital District No. 3”, a symbol of community care that still stands at the entrance today.

The formation of Public Hospital District No. 3 in December 1950 was a pivotal moment for Grant County. It marked a community-led commitment to improving healthcare, established local governance through elected commissioners, and laid the groundwork for building a new hospital which was completed in 1958.

As we celebrate 75 years, we honor the dedicated professionals who have shaped our hospital’s history and look forward to continuing our mission of caring for our community.
