In his tenure, there are a number of changes starting from the Kadlec employee ranks growth from 700 to 3200. Moreover, there is further information on the growth of licensed beds to 270 from an earlier 153 in the report collected.

The article mentions the numerous services that Kadlec has added in his tenure, such as open-heart surgery, electrophysiology cardiology, among many other facilities. Kennewick, which is one of the branches for instance, it has a freestanding emergency department. In Wash, the report shows a 60,000 square foot medical office building both at the hospital’s main Richland campus and at Healthplex. All these new improvements show the many achievements that Mr. Richland helped come up with in the hospital, which are vital in appreciating his tenure.

He has also led Kadlec to have a regional position with providence and has been responsible for the development of kadlec as a regional referral center. According to the report, he has facilitated relationships with the southeastern part of Washington especially in other providence facilities. All this is possible due to the affiliation with Renton, the wash-based providence health and services that operates in five different states of America. Besides all these remarkable achievements of Richland, the position of CEO has yet again been filled, this time by Lane Savitch and he is currently in charge of Kadlec Regional Medical Center.
