BEND, OR -- St. Charles Health System plans to close its Center for Women’s Health in Bend. In a letter to patients, St. Charles Medical Group President John Weinsheim said the suspension of services would happen "incrementally over the next few months."
He said the decision was necessary due to “unforeseen staffing changes.” Weinsheim apologized for the inconvenience and suggested patients seek treatment at the Center for Women’s Health in Redmond, which has certified nurse midwives and five OB-GYN specialists.
The Bend clinic opened last year.
