Santiam Hospital & Clinics presents two community town halls this month to discuss a proposed merger with Salem Health.
The two nonprofit hospital and medical systems announced plans to merge on Jan. 22. Santiam Hospital & Clinics CEO and President Maggie Hudson will be on hand at both sessions, as will her Salem Health counterpart, Cheryl Nestor Wolfe. The merger requires approval by the Oregon Health Authority, with Hudson and Wolfe estimating that the new entity could come on line as early as September.
Both sessions will run from 6 to 7:30 p.m.:
Tuesday, March 17: Snow Peak Brewery, 280 E Water St., Stayton.
Wednesday, March 18: Giovanni’s Mountain Pizza, 146 NW Santiam Blvd., Mill City.
Hudson and Wolfe will outline the planned merger and also take questions from the audience.
The presentation will be the same at both sessions so interested parties only need to attend one.
