Description

PeaceHealth Oregon has ended its long-standing contract with Eugene Emergency Physicians and brought in national firm ApolloMD to staff emergency departments at its three Oregon hospitals. Doctors have argued that the move violate's Oregon's restrictions on corporate control of medicine practices. Pictured is Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend in Springfield on March 14, 2026.
