PeaceHealth and Providence announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement that will result in PeaceHealth acquiring four Providence clinic sites located in Clark County. Pending the standard regulatory review processes, the clinics will transfer to PeaceHealth.

The four Providence Medical Group clinic sites employ approximately 100 staff, including physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, medical assistants, clinical care coordinators and patient service specialists. Providence employees of the clinics will be offered comparable positions with PeaceHealth. The only service not transferring to PeaceHealth is Providence Mill Plain Occupational Medicine. Providence will work with those employees to identify opportunities within their other clinics in the Portland metro area.

Across the four sites, services provided include primary care, walk-in care and outpatient rehabilitation services. Their names are:

• Providence Medical Group Esther Short Clinic
• Providence Camas Medical Office Building
• Providence Mill Plain Medical Office Building
• Providence Vancouver Rehabilitation

Providence does not operate any acute hospital facilities in Clark County, Washington, nor does it offer a wide range of specialty care services in the area. By transitioning these outpatient care sites to PeaceHealth, patients in Clark County will gain increased access to a full spectrum of primary, specialty and hospital care services closer to home, without having to travel into Oregon.

The clinic acquisitions are expected to become final sometime in December 2024. At that time, the clinics will be renamed to reflect the PeaceHealth brand.
