4 HEALTH COMPASS WINTER 2024 Here on the North Coast, residents choose to live in rural communities to have stronger connections with neighbors, enjoy a peaceful environment and have access to nature. CMH believes people who value living in rural communities shouldn’t have to sacrifice quality health care. The CMH-OHSU Health collaboration has made it possible for high-quality specialty care to be available to patients in their own neighborhood, taking away the need to travel away from home to receive health care. This partnership has also led to the addition of several specialty services that would not normally be accessible in a rural area. Thanks to the collaboration, CMH and our patients benefit from tele-ICU services, rotating Emergency Department residents and provision of specialty care, such as the CMH-OHSU Health Cardiology Clinic. These are just a few examples of the benefits that the collaboration has created for local residents. Both CMH and OHSU continue to collaborate on other areas of growth that will benefit the community.
