Closure of Eugene’s Hospital

With PeaceHealth's closure of Eugene's only emergency department, City Club of Eugene takes a look at the impact of the closure and the steps to take to serve the city's residents. Our speakers include Dana Petersen-Crabb, senior director of housing services, ShelterCare; Lynda Pond, ADN/RN, formerly with Oregon Nurses Association and a semi-retired former PeaceHealth employee; and Jocelyn Wensel, medical student and interim managing director and healthcare workforce development program manager for the NAACP.
