A legal case is being heard in federal court over a plan by PeaceHealth to replace Eugene Emergency Physicians with out-of-state ApolloMD. The change has been met with resistance from current doctors, lawmakers, and community members. The case is part of a larger effort by Oregon to prevent corporate influence in medicine, following the passage of Senate Bill 951, which aims to keep medical decisions in the hands of licensed professionals, not corporations, outside management companies. The new law limits how outside management firms can influence things such as hiring, staffing, billing, and anything that could influence a doctor's medical judgment. The outcome of the case could determine how Oregon enforces its new limits on corporate involvement in healthcare.
