About this episode
Two of our area’s largest medical institutions are planning on merging: OHSU is seeking to absorb Legacy Health before the end of 2024, employing more than 32,000 people in over 100 locations. But what does this mean for patients and the overall quality of care? Or for the cost? And especially for all their health care workers who are still struggling since the pandemic? We’re talking with Oregonian reporter Jeff Manning about the impending merger and how it may impact the Portland health care market in the coming years.
