Moving forward together on emergency care in Lane County

PeaceHealth and Eugene Emergency Physicians (EEP) recognize that the past several months have been challenging for physicians, caregivers and the communities we serve.

Together, PeaceHealth and EEP have agreed to reset the approach to Emergency Department physician services in Oregon. We have reengaged in constructive discussions and are working jointly to define a path forward that best supports high-quality, reliable care for patients across Lane County.

Our shared priority is clear: ensuring well-staffed emergency departments that deliver safe, timely care for every patient. To that end, we are focused on strengthening our working relationship, improving emergency department performance and patient flow, and engaging community partners — including first responders and local leaders — to support sustainable, long-term solutions.

We will continue these discussions in the days ahead and will announce a joint press conference when concluded.
