Mid-Columbia Medical Center and North Wasco County School District 21 are planning to collaborate on establishing a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning facility for students at The Dalles High School. It would be available to district staff and potentially other community groups. Superintendent Candy Armstrong says if approved by the Mid-Columbia Medical Center Foundation and the hospital board, MCMC would be paying for the facility and looking to acquire grant funds to help pay in part for it. Armstrong calls it a “win-win” for the district and the community.
