For nearly 15 years, Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been affiliated with
the Planetree Alliance, a group of innovative hospitals and healthcare
institutions who are dedicated to implementing innovative programs to
personalize, humanize and demystify the healthcare experience for patients

care. Considered an exemplary model of Planetree, Mid-Columbia is one
of the few affiliates to have incorporated all nine components of the
Planetree vision into its facility.
