Welcome your newest providers
SINCE
1907, Grande Ronde Hospital (GRH) has made caring for the
people of Union County a priority. In recent years, GRH has moved beyond
hospital doors to provide health care and hospice services in people’s homes;
to provide outpatient services in specialty and primary care clinics; and to
expand access and options for care through an award-winning telehealth
program, online patient health portals and virtual care visits.
Today, your community hospital is working harder than ever to best serve
the residents of Union County, while remaining locally owned and operated.
We have further expanded your care options this year by recruiting the region’s
first full-time cardiologist, a second neurologist, a hospitalist, both an internal
medicine and a family practice physician, and five nurse practitioners—some
of whom you have already met. Help us welcome these new providers for 2016.

generations.
