TL;DR

A rally was held in Eugene, Oregon, calling on PeaceHealth to reverse their decision to close Sacred Heart Medical Center in the University District, which would leave nearly 200,000 people without a hospital. City Mayor Lucy Vinis, registered nurses, and community advocates expressed concerns about the closure's impact on urgent treatment and behavioral health services. Mayor Vinis is urging Governor Tina Kotek and the Oregon Health Authority to intervene, while a public petition is available online to support keeping the hospital open.
