PeaceHealth To Keep Some Services In Eugene

(Eugene, OR) -- The Oregon Health Authority won't allow PeaceHealth to close all of its facilities in Eugene. PeaceHealth wanted to close Sacred Heart Hospital sending all patients to Riverbend Hospital in Springfield. Governor Tina Kotek directed OHA to work with PeaceHealth to keep some services in Eugene to avoid a complete closure of the University District Hospital. Emergency medical resources will move to Riverbend starting December 1st, but behavioral health and acute rehabilitation beds will remain in Eugene under a modified license.
