Serving Kittitas Valley Healthcare and Ellensburg SNFs

Ellensburg is the county seat of Kittitas County and home to Kittitas Valley Healthcare, the primary hospital serving this rural region. Access to specialized vascular services in rural Eastern Washington is limited, making mobile PICC placement a critical resource for Ellensburg facilities. EPICC’s clinicians understand the staffing realities of rural healthcare and respond with the speed and expertise these facilities need.

Why Ellensburg Facilities Partner with EPICC Vascular

Does Kittitas Valley Healthcare have mobile PICC placement available?

What is backup PICC placement service?

Backup PICC placement is a service arrangement where EPICC Vascular supplements a hospital’s existing vascular access capacity. When a facility’s internal team is at capacity, unavailable, or the procedure is outside their skill set, EPICC is called in to perform the placement on-site.

Does EPICC Vascular offer in-service training for nurses in Ellensburg?

Yes. EPICC provides nursing in-service training at Ellensburg healthcare facilities covering PICC care and maintenance and peripheral IV insertion. These sessions improve staff competency, reduce complications, and support facilities in maintaining accreditation standards.

What is the difference between a PICC line and a midline catheter?

A PICC line is a central venous catheter appropriate for medications requiring high-flow central access, and it can remain in place for weeks to months. A midline catheter is a longer peripheral catheter placed in the upper arm, suitable for medications that are compatible with peripheral veins over a shorter treatment course.
