Urologist Dr. John Keizur hosts 29th Annual free Prostate Cancer Screening day in Pullman. Sep 11, 2026 | Last updated Sep 11, 2026 PULLMAN, WA - Dr. John Keizur, Urologist with Pullman Regional Hospital's Palouse Urology Center, will host his 29th Annual Prostate Cancer Screening and Exam Clinic on Tuesday, September 15, from 8 a.m. to noon at Palouse Urology Center, which is located at 825 SE Bishop Blvd. Suite 101, in Pullman. This clinic is provided at no charge and is walk-in; no appointment necessary. Patients will receive a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test (sample taken on site) and an optional exam to help detect early signs of potential prostate cancer. No appointments or fasting are needed, and patients will receive results through MyChart or by mail in less than one week. The American Urological Association and American Cancer Society recommends baseline screening for men between ages 45 and 50 (or as early as 40 for higher risk), in addition to routine screening. "This is an annual reminder to stay on top of your health," says Dr. John Keizur, Urologist with Palouse Urology Center. "When it comes to your health and urology, don't put it off, especially if you're a man over the age of 50. This simple blood test and exam can mean early detection of prostate cancer. Early detection almost always means better outcomes." Dr. Keizur is a board-certified urologist and founded Palouse Urology in 1996. He treats children, adolescents and adults for common problems like bladder and kidney infections, kidney stones, difficulties urinating or with incontinence, erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, and other complex urological conditions.

Kari Sampson joins Pullman Regional Hospital Foundation as Development Officer. Aug 31, 2026 | Last updated Aug 31, 2026 PULLMAN, WA - Pullman Regional Hospital Foundation has welcomed Kari Sampson as its new Development Officer. Sampson joined the Foundation in August, bringing more than 20 years of experience at Washington State University in recruitment, student success, retention, coaching and philanthropy. Most recently, Sampson served as Director of Development for WSU's College of Education, Sport, and Human Sciences, working with alumni, donors and community partners. For Sampson, joining Pullman Regional Hospital is also a deeply personal connection to the community she has called home for 22 years. Her daughter, Faith, received care at Pullman Regional Hospital as a child, an experience that left a lasting impression on the Sampson family. "Pullman Regional has been a part of our family's story and I have experienced firsthand what it means to have extraordinary care at our community hospital," Sampson said. "I am incredibly grateful for the ways my daughter and our family were supported during a very difficult time. We felt an extension of professional and personalized care from the moment we entered PRH and eventually returned home. That extension of care has continued and amplified over the years. Pullman Regional is filled with skilled and caring professionals. The opportunity to advocate and serve on behalf of this organization is an honor and a privilege." For Sampson's daughter, now a pre-med sophomore, the experience helped inspire her decision to pursue a career in medicine as a rheumatologist. "So much of her motivation in doing so is rooted in the care and ongoing support she has received from so many at Pullman Regional Hospital - doctors, nurses, staff, and volunteers alike. She hopes to pay that forward in her future career," says Sampson. Sampson believes one of the most rewarding parts of philanthropy is connecting generous people with opportunities to make a lasting difference. "I've always enjoyed connecting with people," she said. "The ability to do so in a professional manner, helping identify where personal passions align with our community needs in healthcare, is icing on the cake! There are so many people in our community who want to make a difference. I am honored to help connect their generosity with the needs and opportunities that will strengthen healthcare for our region." In her new role, Sampson will help cultivate and strengthen relationships with colleagues, donors and community members while connecting philanthropic support with opportunities that advance Pullman Regional Hospital's mission of improving lives through exceptional healthcare. "We are thrilled to welcome Kari to the Pullman Regional Hospital Foundation," said Linda Infranco, Executive Director for the Foundation. "Her extensive experience, genuine and authentic character and her local connections are an incredible asset as we continue to grow awareness for philanthropic support for our amazing hospital and healthcare system." A first-generation University of Washington graduate and former collegiate golfer, Sampson is a lifelong champion of education and community. She is excited to continue serving the Palouse through Pullman Regional Hospital. Sampson's office is located in the hospital's administrative offices at Corporate Pointe, across the street from Pullman Regional Hospital. Outside of work, Sampson enjoys planning her next adventure, searching for sunshine and a beach, and spending time on the golf course with her husband, Jason, and their daughter, Faith.

Pullman Regional relaunches Whitman County Senior Nutrition Program. Aug 13, 2026 | Last updated Aug 13, 2026 Pullman, WA-Pullman Regional Hospital's Senior Nutrition Program is now fully operational under the hospital's Integrated Care Services department to ensure continued access to vital nutrition services for older adults or adults impacted by mobility barriers across the region. Supported by Aging and Long Term Care of Eastern Washington (ALTCEW), the Senior Nutrition Program manages congregate meal sites, a home meal delivery service, and provides other nutrition resources to help seniors remain connected to their community and receive the nutritional support they need. This acquisition comes after the discontinuation of services by the Whitman County Council on Aging in late 2025, and the program has since been adopted within Pullman Regional Hospital's inclusive care model, falling under Integrated Care Services. Pullman Regional has hired Allyssa Sheppard as the Program Coordinator to regulate program services, complete administrative tasks, and onboard volunteers. She previously worked at the hospital as a Chef for the Red Sage Cafe and was most recently the Executive Chef of Catering for Washington State University. Allyssa shares that her love for community motivates her to bring joy and happiness to seniors, giving them a safe, welcoming space to meet others and socialize over shared meals. The Senior Nutrition Program currently operates four congregate meal sites in Pullman, Palouse, Uniontown, and Colfax. Each site has a designated day of the week for meal service, which begins at 12 p.m. each day: Tuesdays at the Pullman Senior Center, Wednesdays at the Palouse Community Center and Uniontown Community Building, and Thursdays at the Colfax Food Pantry. The Senior Nutrition Program is also continuing the Meals on Wheels program for home-bound seniors to deliver hot, nutritious lunchtime meals with the help of volunteers. Volunteers will additionally help attend to seniors at congregate meal sites and complete supplementary tasks as needed. Those interested in learning more about Meals on Wheels or about volunteering can reach out to Allyssa Sheppard directly at (509) 336-7414. Currently, the Senior Nutrition Program is offering a voucher on fresh fruits and vegetables from the Moscow and Lewiston Farmers Markets through the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP). Those eligible for the SFMNP must be 60 years old or older, a resident of Washington state, and 185% below the Federal Poverty Level. The application is accessible on the program's webpage at www.pullmanregional.org/snp. Further updates on program operations and expansion will be shared as development continues.
