THE DALLES — Following heavy storm damage to the Water’s Edge building at 551 NE Lone Pine Blvd., Adventist Health Columbia Gorge is expecting to reopen many of the shuttered clinics by Monday, Dec. 22, thanks to the quick relocation of staff and equipment to other locations.
Mid-Columbia Medical Center has instituted a COVID-19 preparedness plan in collaboration with local health agencies and as part of that plan is taking the immediate steps to mitigate exposure in the community:
• Visitors will no longer be allowed. This policy applies to all MCMC facilities including the main hospital and all outpatient clinics. Patients and loved ones are encouraged to communicate via phone and/or video calls. If you are a caregiver, a staff member will communicate with you by phone to coordinate care instructions and patient pick-up. Minimal exceptions are in place for end-of-life patients, laboring mothers, pediatric patients, and trauma and critically ill emergency room patients.
Columbia Medical Center’s Internal Medicine Clinic has been awarded the distinguished 5 STAR designation in Oregon’s Patient-Centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH) program.
After sitting idle and buried under snow throughout the winter months, activity has resumed again at the site of the new Northshore Medical Group building off State Route 14, east of the Hood River Bridge.
May is National Stroke Awareness Month and everyone should learn to spot the signs of stroke in order to act quickly, and also learn how to help prevent strokes from happening.
Patients at Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital now have access to a doctor every minute of every day via a new “hospitalist” program beginning in August.
