Looks like Eugene is losing its last hospital.
Well, this is certain to have absolutely no worrisome sequelae.
Inpatient Behavioral Health – PeaceHealth intends to continue serving patients at the current behavioral health location at University District until there is a sustainable alternative in the community. This unit provides inpatient services for 1,100 vulnerable, often complex patients per year. PeaceHealth is collaborating with community partners on alternative care models and works with outpatient behavioral health entities in Lane County and beyond that provide wraparound services.
It’s sad that we’re loosing the hospital. But it would be nice to get rid of some of those ugly parking garages in the middle of one of Eugene’s most walkable neighborhoods.
