A hospital in Pullman will be the first in Washington to offer sex reassignment surgery, after its Board of Commissioners agreed to expand service for people with gender dysphoria.
The board of Pullman Regional Hospital voted unanimously Wednesday to provide the surgery. The hospital expects to perform no more than two operations per month, and anticipates it will result in an annual net loss of about $49,000.
Hospital CEO Scott Adams says he views the surgery as just another form of care for a demographic they have been helping for years with other procedures. (AP)
