Good Shepherd Health Care System (GSHCS) closed on the land purchase of the former Rogers Toyota of Hermiston property earlier this month with plans to build a new state-of-the-art Urgent Care facility at the Highway 395 location.

“Good Shepherd is expanding its footprint to better serve this great community,” said President & CEO Brian Sims. “We are in the early planning stages of constructing a whole new Urgent Care that provides one-stop care for our patients that need it.”

Once demolition of the building is complete, Good Shepherd plans to break ground at the site sometime this fall.

“This will be a fully-supported Urgent Care, with diagnostic imaging and laboratory services, right in the heart of Hermiston,” said Sims. “We intend this location to offer much more convenience, efficiency and space to better serve our patients.”

Construction planning is in the early development phase, but hospital administrators have set a goal to open the new Urgent Care in October 2023 when the existing Urgent Care on Elm Street relocates to the new Highway 395 location.

“We will have the same amazing providers and staff but a more robust facility to take care of you quickly and efficiently, so that you can get right back to your work and family,” said Sims.
