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

The local, physician-owned group, Eugene Emergency Physicians, has said, “no to Apollo MD.”

PeaceHealth will end its 35-year contract with Eugene Emergency Physicians and replace the local group with Atlanta-based ApolloMD to staff ERs in Springfield, Florence, and Cottage Grove. Local doctors cite rising wait times and worsening conditions at RiverBend. All 41 EEP providers have signed an agreement refusing to work for ApolloMD after June 30.
