Vancouver, Wash.-based PeaceHealth will not renew its contract with its current emergency physicians, opting to partner with Atlanta-based ApolloMD instead, CBS affiliate KCBY reported Feb. 5.
PeaceHealth’s current contracts with Eugene (Ore.) Emergency Physicians will end May 30 at PeaceHealth Cottage Grove (Ore.) and June 30 at PeaceHealth Riverbend (Ore.). Once those contracts expire, PeaceHealth will begin working with ApolloMD, a national physician staffing group.
The switch will impact about 50 physicians with EEP. PeaceHealth told KCBY that it was a “natural time” to look at the market for its ER staffing.
“We are committed to partnering with all of the involved parties to ensure seamless transitions. This decision was not based on cost. This decision represents our investment to improving emergency services,” PeaceHealth Oregon Chief Medical Officer Kim Ruscher, MD, said in the report.
