U.S. Postage PAID Salem, OR Permit No. 86 Meet a CMH provider Michael Triller, MD, Medical Director of the CMH Emergency Department Board-certified emergency medicine physician Michael Triller, MD, joined the CMH Emergency Department in January 2022. He was named medical director of the department in 2025. QWhy did you choose your medical specialty? I enjoy the broad scope of practice — caring for individuals across their entire lifespan — and managing both medical and procedural cases. Emergency rooms are also one of the few places where people from all socioeconomic backgrounds receive the same treatment. That aspect of equity and service to the community is very meaningful to me. Q What do you enjoy most about emergency medicine, and what is the most challenging aspect? I enjoy caring for people while managing multiple complex situations at once. Emergency medicine requires constant multitasking, teamwork and quick decision-making, which I find both engaging and rewarding. The most challenging aspect is navigating the gaps that exist in our current health care system and ensuring patients receive the care and resources they need beyond the Emergency Department. Q Is there anything else you want your patients or the public to know about you? It is both a privilege and a challenge to serve on the front line of caring for our community. Emergency Department volume is increasing, and our patients’ needs are becoming more complex. We are always working to improve. Our goal is to become a national leader in delivering high-quality rural emergency care services. Keep trusting in us and CMH — together we can get there.
