Critical Access Hospital Programs

Wallowa Memorial Hospital

ORH supports training and staff development for Oregon's Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs). From quality to leadership, investing in staff and programs improves CAHs' ability to offer high quality care to their communities. ORH also provides customizable benchmarking tools for MBQIP and HCAHPs reporting, quality and operational improvement training, grant opportunities, scholarships to attend conferences and funding to purchase technology, equipment, or create shared savings programs.

Rural CAHs Provide Quality Health Care

Every community deserves access to high-quality health care, and Oregon’s Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) take quality seriously. Throughout rural Oregon, CAHs not only provide care the community needs but strive to ensure that care is of the highest quality. Good Shepherd Health Care System (Hermiston) and Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center (Bandon) are just two great examples of rural hospitals serving their communities with high quality health care.
