Enjoy National Small Business Week: May 4-10

National Small Business Week, which runs May 4-10, is an annual celebration of entrepreneurship and small business development. This year, Courtni and Stephen Doherty, owners of Circle Creek LLC in Auburn, will be honored in Washington, D.C., on May 5 as the Washington State Small Business Person of the Year.

Courtni Doherty started her pediatric speech therapy practice in 2015 in a 900-sq.-ft. space. In 2018 she moved into a 3,400-sq.-ft. space and reached out to SBDC business advisor Taryn Hornby for assistance with a loan for tenant improvements. Courtni has continued to work with Taryn and has continued to grow the scope and the size her practice. Her husband Stephen Doherty joined the business full time several years ago and Circle Creek now occupies 19,000 sq. ft. of clinic space and has more than 40 staff who provide speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and behavioral health services all under one roof.

Welcoming New Pullman Physician Residents

Match Day was Friday, March 21, where we unveiled Pullman’s third cohort of Family Medicine Physician Residents, Dr. Risper Kirui, Dr. Corey Pendergraft, and Dr. Nathan Swallow! The Family Medicine Residency Program is a partnership between Pullman Regional Hospital and Washington State University’s Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine; this 3-year program will help train and retain family medicine physicians in rural areas, like Pullman.

Dr. Kirui, Dr. Pendergraft, and Dr. Swallow will join our first and second cohort of physician residents alongside attending Family Medicine Physicians Dr. Brenna Harris, Dr. Jennifer Shonk, Dr. Molly Thompson, and Dr. Molly Webber at the Family Medicine Residency Center located inside Pullman Regional Hospital, this summer.
