A breakthrough in securing State approval for an Emergency Department at Curry Health Network’s clinic in Brookings was announced today by Brookings Mayor Ron Hedenskog and Curry Health District Board Chair Gary Anderson.
The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) today issued a Temporary Rule prescribing the conditions under which the Curry Health Network (CHN) can secure a State permit to operate a satellite Emergency Department (ED) at Curry Medical Center in Brookings, the CHN’s 34,500 square foot facility that opened in 2011 on 5th Street. The temporary Rule will remain in effect for 180 days while the State processes the enactment of a similar Permanent Rule.
