East Adams Rural Hospital

East Adams Rural Hospital is a twenty-bed Critical Access Hospital located in Ritzville, Washington, at the junction of Interstate 90 and US Route 395. Adams County Public Hospital District #2 operates the hospital in Ritzville, as well as Medical Clinics in Ritzville and Washtucna, and is associated with the Ritzville, Lind, and Washtucna Volunteer Ambulance Associations. Together, these organizations serve a 1,500 square miles (3,900 km2) area of eastern Adams County, Washington, and a District population of about 3,900. The hospital Emergency Room is a Level V Trauma Care facility that serves its community, as well as accident victims from the adjacent major highways.

The umbrella District was long known as "East Adams Rural Hospital", but on August 28th, 2014, the Board of Commissioners voted to change the District's DBA to "East Adams Rural Healthcare" to better reflect the scope of its operations, in that the District was acquiring, by gift, the skilled-nursing facility known as "Life Care Center of Ritzville", then an operation of Life Care Centers of America. The District is thus now operating the hospital in Ritzville, the medical clinic in Ritzville, a medical clinic in nearby Washtucna, and the skilled-nursing facility in Ritzville (now known as "East Adams Rural Healthcare, Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation").
