The CMH-OHSU Health Endocrinology Clinic is taking new patients! Call 503-338-4531 to make an appointment. COLUMBIA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL 2111 Exchange St. Astoria, OR 97103 Nonprofit Org. U.S. Postage PAID Salem, OR Permit No. 86 Meet a CMH provider Rolf Sohlberg, MD Dr. Sohlberg is an orthopedic hand surgeon at the CMH-OHSU Health Orthopedic Clinic in Astoria. QWhy did you choose your medical specialty? “I was initially attracted to orthopedic surgery because the surgeons I shadowed as a student were happy and loved their work. In most cases, the problems you encounter have a solution, and there is an endless variety of conditions to treat, so there is always a new challenge. After 27 years in private practice, I still love going to work.” QWhat do you enjoy most about your job? “I really enjoy working with a team to give excellent care to our patients. The relationships — with staff, colleagues and patients — are the favorite part of my job.” QWhat is the most challenging aspect of working in your field? “Every patient and every problem is unique. Every fracture has a unique configuration, and every patient reacts differently to treatment. It’s a constant learning process and requires creative thinking and planning for an optimal outcome.” QWhat does person-centered care mean to you? “I always strive to get to know something about my patients before we formulate a treatment plan. People are scared when they come to the doctor, and we as physicians need to show empathy and caring, first and foremost, so trust can flourish.” Cover image is a rendering of the hospital following the BuildCMH Expansion Project.
