PeaceHealth announced Thursday it will acquire four Providence medical clinics in Clark County. The clinic acquisitions will be finalized around December, PeaceHealth said in a news release. Come December, the four clinics will be renamed to reflect the PeaceHealth brand.
The four Providence clinic sites pending acquisition are: The only clinic not included in the acquisition is Providence Mill Plain Occupational Medicine, 315 S.E. Stone Mill Drive.
The four sites collectively employ 100 staff members, including physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, medical assistants, clinical care coordinators and patient service specialists. Providence does not operate any acute hospital facilities in Clark County. PeaceHealth said the acquisition of these clinics will increase access to care for residents across Clark County, including primary, specialty and hospital care.
“We want current clinic patients to know that while the names of the clinics are changing, their care team who they know, and trust, remains the same,” PeaceHealth Chief Medical Officer Melissa Edwards said in the news release. “PeaceHealth and Providence share a common mission and commitment to ensuring this acquisition is seamless and does not disrupt quality patient care.” PeaceHealth said current Providence employees will be offered comparable positions under the acquisition.
Providence will also work with those employees to find opportunities within their clinics in the Portland metro area. �.
