Guest Editorial
Kadlec Growing with
the Community
The Richland skyline has forever changed with the four-story
addition occurring at Kadlec Regional Medical Center, bringing
the River Pavilion tower to ten stories. The additional floors will
allow Kadlec the much-needed capacity to care for patients
coming for the regional services provided by the medical center.

ChairSystem
The tower expansion at Kadlec, now the tallest building in Richland, is one of the major
projects made possible by the health system’s recent affiliation with Providence Health
& Services. Currently, the River Pavilion at Kadlec houses adult acute care units, the Don
& Lori Watts Pediatric Center, a clinical decision unit and the hospital’s operating rooms
and post-anesthesia care unit. One of the new floors will be dedicated to intensive care
for the hospital’s most critically ill and the additional floors will expand the hospital’s
inpatient acute care. The phased opening of the top four floors of the tower will begin in
October 2016. A ribbon cutting and public open house will be held in September.
Before opening the new floors at Kadlec, Richland will welcome its first parking garage.
When the medical center built out to four stories in 1971, the facility had 48 doctors
and 165 nurses. Now, with the hospital licensed for 270 beds and having over 3,400
employees, the hospital services and staff had outgrown the existing parking. To meet
this need and the parking demands of the expanded tower, Kadlec utilized the land for
the current parking and began construction on the garage.
The long awaited garage has five levels and over 660 parking stalls including plenty of
ADA spaces and charging stations for electric vehicles. Retail space will also be shelled in
to meet the needs of other services for hospital patrons and will open in the future. The
garage will be open for use to hospital patients and guests on August 1.
Another addition to Kadlec is the new location of West Kennewick Primary Care currently
under construction at 9040 West Clearwater Avenue. Doctors Shannon Dramis and
Joseph Oro will serve the primary care needs of patients of all ages. The new building
has room for eight providers at full capacity anticipating the needs of the community in
the area. Kennewick Primary Care will be open to patients in late August.
Kadlec, a not-for-profit health system, is constantly looking to the future needs of the
community. These latest three projects help to meet the demand for high-quality and
compassionate medical care for the patients in and surrounding the Tri-Cities area. To
learn more about Kadlec, visit www.kadlec.org.

BUILDING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS
WITH YOUR BANKER
Presented by: Kurt Beckley, Banner Bank
Being knowledgeable about your company’s
financial information is critical for any business
owner, but let’s face it – banking and dealing
with your banker can be a stressful and
intimidating experience. Since 2008, the
qualification requirements, regulatory issues and risk management
practices for banks have drastically increased; leading to an increase
in the amount of credit declines across the country. However, one big
reason credit gets declined never get mentioned – lack of education.
Every bank is different, but business owners can better prepare
themselves by learning about banking policies, procedures and
limitations to lay the foundation for a great relationship with their bank.
