ApolloMD

The request comes after PeaceHealth announced it would end its decades long relationship with Eugene Emergency Physicians in favor of Apollo MD, a Georgia based staffing company.

ApolloMD, the Georgia-based company recently hired by PeaceHealth to staff its Lane County hospital emergency departments, has responded to a request for information from Oregon lawmakers. But, according to the Oregon House Majority Leader, the company’s responses have raised more questions than answers.

State lawmakers want information from ApolloMD, the Georgia-based entity chosen by PeaceHealth to replace a local physician’s group in their emergency departments. Three legislators have requested information in writing about compliance with Oregon Law.

An emergency meeting of all medical staff was held Wednesday night—where an informal vote of no confidence in PeaceHealth leadership was unanimous.

A locally based group of doctors who staff PeaceHealth’s emergency departments has issued an open letter to the community.

For decades, PeaceHealth Oregon has contracted with the local group, Eugene Emergency Physicians, to staff its emergency departments. Come June, that contract will not be renewed. Instead, the hospital system has chosen Atlanta-based ApolloMD as its emergency medicine partner in Springfield, Florence and Cottage Grove.
