What has been done to assure access to health care in an emergency for people on either side of the Willamette River?
PeaceHealth will maintain its University District campus in Eugene and offer a 24-hour Emergency Room there. In the event of virtually any emergency, this facility could meet all but the most critical health care needs. Sacred Heart at RiverBend has been built in an area of low seismic or flood risk. Moreover, the structural design of the new hospital exceeds state building code requirements to ensure that the new facility will be available for immediate occupancy following a major earthquake. Local emergency medical professionals have confirmed that the location of the new facility does not pose any significant problem.
