The CEO of Prineville's Memorial Hospital is taking over the reins at St. Charles Redmond. Bob Gomes will be replacing Patrick Varga who left to take a similar job in California. Gomes will be the acting CEO of the larger Redmond hospital and continue his duties at the Prineville hospital. “I think looking over the next few months, as we continue to restructure St. Charles for the future, our leadership will decide whether its a good enhancement to sustain our long term effort.” The Redmond hospital is about twice the size of the Prineville hospital. St. Charles is examining ways to better deliver integrated care and this management change is one of those changes.
