Columbia Basin Hospital is asking voters to consider a $30 million bond proposal that would allow the facility to expand its service offerings with an addition to the current family medicine clinic. The well-known rose garden would remain, but the parking lot would be pushed a bit further out to accommodate a two-story addition to the family medicine wing of the hospital.

$30M hospital bond goes before Ephrata voters
EPHRATA – Those living in and around Ephrata will see a measure on their ballot for the August 5 election for a $30 million bond measure requested by Grant County Public Hospital District 3 – which most residents likely know as Columbia Basin Hospital. The measure has been in the works for some time. “The board started talking about this more seriously right before COVID, and then COVID hit, and everything took a back burner to that,” said GCPHD 3 Board President Amy Paynter.
