Four candidates are being considered for the open seat on the Pullman Regional Hospital Board of Commissioners.

The PRH Board is scheduled to interview the candidates on Wednesday night and may make an appointment. The candidates include Brandon Burch, a retired IT professional from Washington State University; Shane McFarland, an exercise physiologist from WSU; Levi O’Loughlin, a biosafety officer at WSU; and RJ Lott, the Community Development Director for the City of Pullman.

The position became vacant when Commissioner Karen Karpman stepped down from the board last month. This marks the third vacancy on the PRH Board in recent months. The board will convene on Wednesday at 6:00 PM at the hospital. The appointed candidate will be eligible for election this fall.
