PeaceHealth Reverses ER Staffing Plan, Signs Two-to-Three-Year Deal with Eugene Emergency Physicians

PeaceHealth has reversed its plan to shift emergency department staffing away from Eugene Emergency Physicians (EEP) to ApolloMD, announcing a two- to three-year contract renewal with EEP at Cottage Grove and RiverBend, while PeaceHealth will keep Florence’s ER staffing direct-employment. The move comes after political pressure and a lawsuit; federal court hearings on the staffing transition, tied to Oregon Senate Bill 951, were underway, with a written agreement drafted just before arguments and terms still being negotiated under Judge Mustafa Kasubhai.

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.

PeaceHealth Initiates Closure of University District Hospital, Prompting Backlash from Nurses Association

PeaceHealth Sacred Heart has announced plans to close its University District Hospital in Eugene, Oregon, and relocate most operations to the RiverBend campus in Springfield. The decision was made due to the belief that RiverBend can handle increased patient volume and the need for costly earthquake-resistant renovations at the University District location. The closure process will begin in early 2024, with 27 beds being temporarily relocated. The emergency department will move to RiverBend, while behavioral health and ambulatory services will remain at the University District. The hospital has been experiencing financial losses and lower patient numbers, with plans to redirect some patients to a planned crisis stabilization center in Lane County.
