: Thank you to the emergency responders who joined us for our Virtual Town Hall on April 21.

Cheryl Nester Wolfe, MSN, RN, President & CEO of Salem Health Hospitals & Clinics, and Maggie Hudson, MBA, President & CEO of Santiam Hospital & Clinics, answered thoughtful questions about how Santiam’s ambulance service would continue operating across its current coverage area, as well as what to expect on “day one” of the partnership this fall.

We appreciate the important work you do every day and the time you took to connect with us. These conversations help ensure we’re planning for a strong, seamless future — together.

We’ll continue sharing updates about the partnership process as they happen. Stay tuned!
