Providence Hood River's Grand Opening

 


You're Invited
Saturday, March 7, 2009 Noon – 4 p.m.

Dedication Ceremony

  Providence Hood River is growing with the Gorge communities that we serve on both sides of the Columbia River. Our 72,000 square foot hospital expansion and modernization project transforms our community hospital into a regional medical center.

This March, we open the new addition – and you’re invited to join the celebration, noon to 4 p.m., Saturday, March 7. With expanded care in our family birth center, surgery and diagnostic imaging, Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital provides the highest quality of care close to home.

Among the activities you’ll experience at the grand opening are:

   • Explore behind the scenes of our state-of-the-art medical facility.
   • Learn about new and expanded services.
   • Tour the Youthful Art of Healing gallery – and meet these talented young artists.
   • Join hands-on activities in our surgery, diagnostic imaging, family birth and infusion centers.
   • Enjoy refreshments, live music, and special guests.
   • Help us dedicate a time capsule filled with messages of hope for future residents.
   • Help your neighbors by bringing nonperishable food for FISH Food Bank.
